Goalkeeper – Alisson Becker

The Brazilian has kept five consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League, the first Reds keeper to do so since Pepe Reina.

Right back – Trent Alexander-Arnold

The young Scouser was rested for the FA Cup tie with Everton, he will be chomping at the bit waiting to whip some balls into the Spurs box.

Centre beck – Virgil van Dijk

He’s our centre half, he’s our number four, watch him defend and Spurs not score.

Centre back – Joe Gomez

It can be no coincidence that as soon as JoGo has gotten a run of games we have put together our best clean sheet sequence since the Benitez era.

Left back – Andy Robertson

The Scotsman performs at least an eight every week when he doesn’t get a rest, he will be a frightening prospect now that he’s been recharged.

Defensive midfield – Jordan Henderson

The skipper has been playing out of his skin in recent weeks, the fact that we haven’t missed Fabinho is testament to his performance levels of late.

Centre midfield – Naby Keita

We are finally seeing the very best of Naby Keita, the Guinean has been finding the net and finding teammates that have found the net, he could really announce himself to the rest of the league this weekend.

Centre midfield – Gini Wijnaldum

The Dutchman has been phenomenal of late, it’s incredible how hard it is to tackle the man.

Left wing – Sadio Mane

The African player of the year, Sadio will be going into the game with his spirits high.

Firmino role – Roberto Firmino

Bobby performs in big games, particularly away games where he can find space. He will pick apart the makeshift Tottenham defence.

Right wing – Mo Salah

The Egyptian King will be one of the first names in the Liverpool lineup to face Spurs, we’ll be expecting a big performance.
