Tottenham’s Potential Lineup Against Liverpool
Tottenham Hotspur will face Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening following a disappointing loss to Nottingham Forest, where they were defeated 3-0. This performance raised concerns among supporters, leading to criticism aimed at coach Thomas Frank.
Frank is under pressure to improve the team’s performance and results. However, with their recent struggles at home, winning against Liverpool will be a tough task. Here’s how Tottenham might line up for the match.
Predicted Tottenham Lineup vs. Liverpool
Goalkeeper: Guglielmo Vicario
Guglielmo Vicario has faced criticism for his recent inconsistent performances. He was partly at fault for Forest’s first goal and misjudged the second. Vicario needs to deliver a strong performance, especially against a formidable opponent like Liverpool.
Defence: Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence
Tottenham’s defense has been shaky lately, conceding goals at an alarming rate. Despite the issues, it’s likely that Frank will stick with the same back four that played in the loss to Forest. This means Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Djed Spence will start, with Porro and Spence as full-backs and Romero and Van de Ven in central defense, needing to be compact to keep Liverpool’s attack at bay.
Midfield: Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur, Xavi Simons
Changes in midfield are expected after they struggled against Forest. Joao Palhinha may return to the starting lineup, adding experience and needed protection to the defense. Archie Gray may be dropped due to his poor showing last week, with Rodrigo Bentancur likely to retain his spot. Xavi Simons is anticipated to continue in the No.10 role as he has begun to find his rhythm.
Attack: Wilson Odobert, Richarlison, Mohammed Kudus
Spurs were ineffective in attack against Forest, prompting Frank to consider changes. Mohammed Kudus is expected to keep his place on the right, while Wilson Odobert might start on the left due to his speed. Richarlison is set to lead the line, bringing physicality to challenge Liverpool’s defense. Other attackers like Randal Kolo Muani, Mathys Tel, and Brennan Johnson could also provide depth when needed.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs. Brentford (4-2-3-1): Guglielmo Vicario; Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky Van de Ven, Djed Spence; Xavi Simons, Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur; Mohammed Kudus, Richarlison, Wilson Odobert.
