Liverpool are looking to gain some much-needed ground in the race for Champions League football when they host a struggling Tottenham Hotspur, who have plenty of injury issues, in a Premier League meeting.
Despite losing four games in a row and conceding 14, Igor Tudor is expected to be in charge of the Lilywhites when they travel to Anfield on Sunday.
But he is facing an uphill battle to keep his job, with Spurs having 10 players injured, and Micky van de Ven is also suspended.
Liverpool’s forwards ALL deserve to be dropped against Spurs 😶
Which three would you go with against a side shipping so many goals?
Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and more expected to miss Liverpool vs Tottenham
With a total of 11 players potentially missing, Tottenham could basically field a full team from their stars currently on the sidelines.
Their backline has been hit especially hard in the 2025/26 season, with Van de Ven out on Sunday and Cristian Romero given a 50% chance of featuring after he suffered a head/face injury.
Full-back is also a problem area with Destiny Udogie still a doubt after he picked up a thigh issue.
Other notable absentees include James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Bergvall, with the full list of Tottenham players potentially missing out provided by Premier League Injuries below:
- Wilson Odobert: Knee Injury
- James Maddison: Knee Injury

Liverpool injury list vs Tottenham
On Friday morning, Slot provided an update on Alisson, who he expects to return to training ahead of Sunday after he missed the midweek Champions League action.
Elsewhere, after picking up a long-term issue in the Spurs meeting last year, Alexander Isak ‘is with the rehab team still and not with the team yet’.
On a more positive note, Federico Chiesa ‘feels better now, and he will train with us today’, confirmed the Liverpool manager on March 13.
Aside from said trio, Wataru Endo, Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley are all out of action for a long period and will have no part in the Tottenham meeting.
