Liverpool line-ups vs Tottenham as Mohamed Salah change made and Jordan Henderson returns

 an Doyle - Time for Salah down the middle

It's the big one. Well, very much in the sense all of Liverpool's Premier League games are going to be big between now and the end of the season.

Which, of course, is a lot. Tottenham first, though. And what is Jurgen Klopp to do?

The big question is the formation and I'd be minded to go back to a 4-2-3-1 purely to throw a bit of a spanner in the works of the home team.

It means Alisson Becker in goal, with Andy Robertson returning at left-back. The rest of the defence stays the same - Trent Alexander-Arnold on the other flank and Virgil van Dijk partnered by Ibrahima Konate at centre-back.

Midfield sees a change, with the concussed James Milner out. Jordan Henderson is back to skipper in place of Fabinho, with Thiago Alcantara joining him at the base.

And up top, it's time Mohamed Salah went back down the middle with Roberto Firmino - who loves playing Tottenham - in behind, and Curtis Jones on the left and Harvey Elliott on the right.

My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Thiago; Elliott, Firmino, Jones; Salah.

Paul Gorst - Traditional midfield returns

This one has been touted as a ‘must-not-lose’ for Liverpool but a draw is of little use for Jurgen Klopp. Victory is needed if they are to eventually claw back the deficit.

Ibrahima Konate was excellent against Napoli so he starts again next to Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson is recalled.

In midfield I’m going with a somewhat traditional trio of Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara and Jordan Henderson.

Up top, I’m naming Darwin Nunez alongside Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah with the Uruguay striker just off to the left.

My team (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Thiago, Henderson; Salah, Firmino, Nunez.
