Sunday’s second Premier League match sees Liverpool take on Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Kick-off on Merseyside is at 16:30 BST.

The Reds only have one fixture in Gameweek 32 but this is the first of two games for Spurs in this round of matches, with Crystal Palace the visitors to north London in midweek.

Son Heung-min is the highest-profile absentee from Mauricio Pochettino’s starting XI, with the South Korea international only among the substitutes.

Lucas Moura starts alongside Harry Kane instead, with Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen also included in the visitors’ line-up.

Pochettino appears to be adopting a three-man central defence, with Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose deployed as wing-backs.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has recovered from a back injury to take his place at right-back and there are few surprises in Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI, save for perhaps Fabinho‘s benching.

James Milner – who is widely accepted to be Liverpool’s first-choice penalty taker ahead of Mohamed Salah – starts in central midfield instead.

Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino make up a familiar-looking front three, while Andrew Robertson, Alisson and Virgil van Dijk are predictable starters in the hosts’ backline.

Mane has only blanked twice in the last nine Gameweeks and was the third-most-bought midfielder of Gameweek 32, despite only having one fixture.

Salah, who comes into this match off the back of a two-week rest over the international break, was sold by well over half a million FPL bosses ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Spurs XI (3-4-1-2): Lloris, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Trippier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Rose, Dele, Lucas, Kane.

        Lloris took it away from goal with his parry and Alde kicked it back towards the goal

          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago
