Liverpool
Liverpool came through the midweek trip to Spain unscathed as far as fresh injuries are concerned, with Roberto Firmino still the only doubt for Klopp.
The Brazilian travelled with the squad to Villarreal but did not make the squad, and Klopp hinted in his pre-match press conference that he could hold him back again to ensure that he is fully fit for Tuesday's match against Aston Villa.
Luis Diaz's half-time introduction was largely credited with inspiring the Liverpool turnaround at El Madrigal, and the Colombian has surely played his way back into the starting XI for this match.
The big question is who will join him in the front three, with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah both playing the full 90 minutes in midweek and Diogo Jota having only played 45.
It would not be a surprise to see one of Mane or Salah rested this weekend, although next week's match away to Aston Villa may be a more likely option with one eye also on the FA Cup final next Saturday.
Mane, incidentally, is looking to score in a Premier League game at Anfield for the 50th time, having never lost at the stadium when he has scored in his previous 49 such occasions - the best record of its kind in Premier League history.
Klopp is expected to freshen up other areas of the pitch given the constant turnaround in fixtures, with Jordan Henderson likely to come into the midfield and Joel Matip set to return in place of Ibrahima Konate in defence.
Alisson Becker, meanwhile, may have one eye on equalling Petr Cech's all-time Premier League clean sheet record for a season of 24, which he could do if he does not concede again this term.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Mane, Diaz
Tottenham Hotspur
Kane will have something to say about that, though, and the England captain has scored seven times and assisted twice in 13 Premier League meetings with Liverpool, including four goals and one assist in seven games at Anfield.
Son, meanwhile, is chasing down Salah in the Golden Boot race and will be looking for his 20th of the season this weekend.
Tottenham have no new injury concerns to worry about, but they are still contending with a longer list of absentees than their opponents, with the full-back areas particularly hard hit.
Matt Doherty, Sergio Reguilon and Japhet Tanganga all remain sidelined, while Oliver Skipp is out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery.
Kulusevski sat out against Leicester but should come back into the starting XI for this one.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
Prediction: Liverpool 3-2 Tottenham Hotspur
