Tottenham Hotspur welcome Liverpool to North London on Saturday evening, desperate to arrest a worrying slide in form.
Thomas Frank’s side were humbled 3-0 by Nottingham Forest in their last outing. Now, they face the reigning champions with a squad decimated by injuries and international call-ups. Despite the gloom, Spurs have been potent at home in Europe this season. They will hope to translate that form into the Premier League.
However, history is against them. They have struggled significantly against Liverpool in recent years, winning just two of the last 25 league meetings. Frank will need a tactical masterclass to overcome the odds.
Tottenham Hotspur team news
Thomas Frank confirmed on Friday that his squad situation remains unchanged from the Forest defeat. “Nobody new is available,” the manager stated. This confirms that Brennan Johnson is not yet ready to return. In midfield, the absence of Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr (AFCON) leaves a significant void.
Consequently, João Palhinha and Lucas Bergvall are pushing for starts to freshen up the engine room, potentially replacing Archie Gray and Rodrigo Bentancur. Defensively, the back four of Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Djed Spence is likely to remain unchanged due to a lack of alternatives. Richarlison will continue to lead the line, looking to build on his strong personal record against Liverpool.
