Liverpool vs Tottenham: Latest team news, predicted lineup and injuries

Liverpool will be crowned Premier League champions on Sunday if they avoid defeat against Tottenham at Anfield.

It will mark an incredible achievement for Arne Slot, who is in his debut season as head coach after succeeding old boss Jurgen Klopp in June.

If Spurs manage to beat Liverpool, the Reds will need to wait until next weekend to be confirmed as champions of England for the 20th time.

But they will hope to get the job done this weekend instead against Ange Postecoglou’s men, who are 16th in the table ahead of Gameweek 34.

Slot has almost a fully-fit squad to pick from for the home clash against Spurs, with defender Joe Gomez the only player who remains unavailable.

Trent Alexander-Arnold made his return from injury off the bench against Leicester last week and could relace Conor Bradley in the Liverpool XI.

Tottenham, meanwhile, have two players ruled out with Radu Dragusin and Son Heung-min injured for the televised showdown with Liverpool.

Liverpool beat Spurs 6-3 when the two sides met at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in December’s reverse fixture.

The Reds also defeated Spurs over two legs in this season’s Carabao Cup semi-finals.

The last time Spurs secured a win over Liverpool at Anfield was in May 2011 when Harry Redknapp’s side defeated Kenny Dalglish’s team 2-0.

Slot is relishing the ‘big responsibility’ of giving Liverpool fans a proper party on Sunday, with the club’s last Premier League title coming in 2020 under coronavirus restrictions.

‘It is a big responsibility because we are aware of the fact the last time this club won the league it was Covid so everyone is looking forward to Sunday,’ the Dutchman said.

‘But we are aware there is a job still to be done and that is (to win) one point.

‘We are aware and our fans are aware we still need a point, we are definitely still aware within this building.’
