Liverpool is heading to north London for an important match that will test their recent improvements. The change to a 4-2-3-1 formation against Brighton added balance to the team, allowing them to play with a clear plan for the first time in weeks. With pressure mounting on Arne Slot and momentum building, this match against Tottenham Hotspur is significant.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur
Recent Formation
Last weekend, Liverpool switched to a 4-2-3-1 formation, providing better defensive support. The use of two holding midfielders helped protect the defense and allowed the attackers to have clearer responsibilities. This setup improved their control in the center of the pitch, reducing vulnerabilities during transitions. Slot may view this formation as a potential long-term solution if the team continues to perform well.
Recent Performance
In their latest league matches, Liverpool has shown improvement. Hugo Ekitike scored two goals against Leeds and followed up with another two against Brighton, bringing his total to four goals in two Premier League matches. His confidence and finishing skills have made a significant impact, possibly positioning him as the first-choice striker, ahead of Alexander Isak.
With the team now converting chances and showing better control without the ball, there is optimism that they can maintain their momentum in this challenging away game against Spurs.
Team News & Injuries
Mohamed Salah is currently away on international duty for the Africa Cup of Nations. Both Dominik Szoboszlai and Joe Gomez picked up injuries against Brighton, and their availability is still unconfirmed. Wataru Endo and Cody Gakpo are sidelined due to injuries, limiting the team’s options on the wings. Giovanni Leoni is recovering from a long-term injury. Jeremie Frimpong is also out, impacting the right-back position. However, Conor Bradley has regained fitness and is available, providing energy on the right side.
