Liverpool have been handed a double fitness boost by the Telegraph, with Jordan Henderson and Joel Matip both set to feature against Tottenham Hotspur.

There were concerns that Henderson would miss out for Liverpool on Thursday, as their captain has been unavailable for their last two games.

But it seems that the England international will be fit enough to feature in one of Liverpool’s biggest games of the season so far.

Henderson should also be able to line up in his familiar midfield position, as the Telegraph have confirmed that Joel Matip is still fit.

Matip was rested by Liverpool at the weekend, when they took on Manchester United, with Klopp saving the Cameroonian for tomorrow night’s game.

Matip now looks set to start in defence alongside Fabinho, which should make Liverpool a far tougher side to break down then they were at the weekend, when Rhys Williams struggled.

If Liverpool can beat Tottenham then it will significantly increase optimism around Anfield, after what has been a very difficult run of results.
