Liverpool predicted XI v Tottenham: Henderson and Matip both start

Liverpool travel to Tottenham tonight looking to claim a first win in the Premier League for five matches.

The champions have felt their stranglehold on the title loosen in recent weeks and a big performance is required.

Boss Jurgen Klopp saw his charges bow out of the FA Cup last week at Manchester United – although the performance might have lifted his spirits.

Tonight’s clash looks set to be a cracker and Liverpool will want to bounce in style as they head to the capital.

Here, we take a look at the team which Klopp might call upon.

In goal and back four

Alisson Becker was somewhat erratic in the game against United last week but should keep his place here.

Likewise, the full-backs should stay the same with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson firmly established.

At the back, Rhys Williams will probably drop to the bench.

Joel Matip should return to partner Fabinho at the back, with the £100,000-a-week player left out of the team last week.

Jordan Henderson should be okay to return at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and that bodes well for Liverpool.

Alongside him, the partnership of Thiago and Gini Wijnaldum should stay in place.

Both players haven’t quite played with maximum effect as a two and hopefully, Henderson’s presence can help them along.

Mo Salah will start on the right and will hope to add to his two goals in the defeat to United last week.

On the left-hand side, Sadio Mane will also hope to play himself back into some form after a tough period.

Here is how Liverpool could line-up tonight:
