Team News

Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham's coronavirus issues are by no means over yet, and they could still be without as many as six players on Sunday due to the virus.

Son is one of those understood to be affected and therefore unavailable for Liverpool's visit, while Lucas, Emerson Royal, Oliver Skipp, Bryan Gil and Dane Scarlett will all be assessed having tested positive.

Cristian Romero remains sidelined until next year through injury, but Sergio Reguilon is ready to return to the side and Giovani Lo Celso should also be in contention after a knee problem.

Harry Kane, who has scored just once in his last six meetings with Liverpool, will lead the line as he goes in search of his first Premier League goal for more than two months, and only his second of the season.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Tanganga, Ndombele, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Lo Celso; Kane, Bergwijn

Liverpool
Salah has had no such trouble finding the back of the net, with his goal against Newcastle his 15th of the campaign already, and history could beckon for the Egyptian winger this weekend.

If he scores or assists at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium then Salah would become the first ever player to be directly involved in at least one goal in 16 successive Premier League games.

Liverpool are awaiting final confirmation regarding the "suspected" positive tests of Van Dijk, Fabinho and Jones, but all three are expected to miss out once again this weekend.

The Reds have so far not returned any further positive tests, but Divock Origi, Nat Phillips, Harvey Elliott and Adrian all remain sidelined for the visitors through injury.

Klopp may view Wednesday's EFL Cup tie with Leicester as a better chance to rotate players, meaning that changes for Sunday's game should be kept to a minimum.

Roberto Firmino will be pushing for a recall up front, particularly having scored five goals - including three winners - in his last six games against Spurs, but Jota's own goalscoring form may keep the Brazilian on the bench for now.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Konate, Robertson; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Thiago; Salah, Jota, Mane

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Liverpool
