Liverpool are potentially four games away from being Premier League champions, but if they are to win English football’s biggest prize, they’ll probably have to win every game between now and the end of the season.
Of course, with this Liverpool team, that is very possible, but there’s a huge speedbump in their way this weekend in the shape of Antonio Conte’s Tottenham.
Spurs haven’t had the best of seasons, but they’ve had a knack of turning up against the biggest sides this term. They’ve taken six points off of Manchester City already this term, while a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in December earned them a point.
In order to win here, Jurgen Klopp’s side will have to be at their best, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting the Reds’ starting XI for this one.
We expect Jurgen Klopp to make three changes from the side that faced Villarreal and revert back to what is arguably his strongest team at the moment.
The back five that we’ve seen for the majority of this season is put out for this one as Joel Matip comes in for Ibrahima Konate.
Meanwhile, there’s also a change in midfield as Jordan Henderson comes in for Naby Keita after an underwhelming midweek display.
Diogo Jota also wasn’t at the races on Wednesday, so he drops out in favour of the electric Luis Diaz.
Mohamed Salah starts down the right fresh off of the back of winning the FWA Footballer of the Year award.
