Arne Slot has chosen to put Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike on the bench as Liverpool takes on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Liverpool welcomes Spurs to Anfield on Sunday, a match that is crucial for both teams. Despite Liverpool needing a win to boost their Champions League qualification chances, Salah and Ekitike will start on the substitutes’ bench.
They begin on the bench ahead of an important Champions League last-16 second leg against Galatasaray later this week.
Cody Gakpo is anticipated to play at centre-forward, with teenager Rio Ngumoha positioned wide on the left. Florian Wirtz will provide support from an advanced midfield position.
In positive news, Alisson Becker returns from injury and will take over in goal from Giorgi Mamardashvili.
Liverpool team to face Tottenham:
Liverpool XI: Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Wirtz, Gakpo, Ngumoha.
