Predicted Lineups & Tactical Setup
Liverpool (4-3-3)
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
Liverpool are likely to deploy their trademark 4-3-3 formation, with a focus on high pressing and quick transitions. The recent return of Trent Alexander-Arnold could provide an additional attacking threat from the right-back position.
Tottenham (4-3-3)
Vicario; Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Spence; Bissouma, Bentancur, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Tel
In the absence of Son Heung-min, Spurs may opt for a 4-3-3 formation, with Richarlison leading the line and supported by the creative talents of James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. The midfield trio of Bissouma, Bentacur, and Maddison will be crucial in controlling the game's tempo.
