Liverpool travel to Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon bidding for a ninth successive victory (16.30 kick-off).

Jurgen Klopp’s men weren’t at their best but delivered a 3-1 win over Newcastle on Thursday.

However, the Reds boss could indeed look to shuffle his pack against Antonio Conte’s troops in the capital.

Here’s how we think Liverpool will start at kick-off.

The Brazilian would have been disappointed not to have kept a clean sheet against Newcastle. Will have to be at his best to thwart Harry Kane.

Scored an absolute rocket to wrap up the Newcastle win. In rich vein of form.
