Liverpool
After being forced off with a thigh injury at Bournemouth on Saturday, Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold is more than likely going to miss this one, but initial fears were alleviated following a scan which revealed the issue is not as bad as first thought.
Recent returns for both Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones mean Joe Gomez is the only other injury absentee for the hosts at present, with Liverpool set to be close to full-strength here.
The other places up for grabs are at left back where Andy Robertson and Tsimikas will compete for a start, and in midfield between Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai to partner Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Diaz, Gakpo
Tottenham
While players continue to return and make huge strides in recoveries, Spurs have been hit with another huge blow after Radu Dragusin was ruled out for the season with the knee injury he sustained against Elfsborg last week.
Micky van de Ven returned in that Europa League outing, and was held back at the weekend in preparation for this one, but the Dutch defender will not be ready to feature, with Postecoglou ruling him out of contention, so Ben Davies will likely be partnered with Archie Gray again in defence.
Postecoglou has revealed he is confident Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario, Brennan Johnson, Wilson Odobert and Timo Werner will all return in the next week or so, but for Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke, their comebacks are a little further down the line.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Kinsky; Pedro Porro, Davies, Gray, Spence; Bergvall, Bissouma, Bentancur; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son
Prediction: Liverpool 5-1 Tottenham Hotspur
