Comments and predictions for Liverpool vs Tottenham: The Roosters have no way out

Latest Liverpool vs Tottenham squad information

Only two Liverpool players will miss Sunday's crucial clash. Joe Gomez is recovering from hamstring surgery and could return before the end of the season, while Tyler Morton remains sidelined with a shoulder problem.

In addition, Slot have a full squad to choose from and will certainly welcome back Alexander-Arnold – who is set to join Real Madrid – into the starting line-up, following the wild celebrations at the King Power Stadium.

Mohamed Salah needs just three more goal involvements to break the Premier League's all-time record for goal contributions in a season, but he is now on a four-game run without scoring – his longest this season.

Still, facing Tottenham often brings inspiration for Salah: he has scored 15 goals against Spurs in his career – his second favourite opponent after Manchester United (16).

On Tottenham's side, apart from the long-term injury of Radu Dragusin (cruciate ligament) and Son Heung-min (foot injury) who will continue to be absent, Postecoglou's squad has no further problems.

Destiny Udogie was absent from the Forest game simply because he was rested after ploughing through the Europa League, as were James Maddison, Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson.

However, against England's strongest opponents this Sunday, Postecoglou is sure to field his strongest line-up, with centre-back duo Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven ready to play after being withdrawn in the previous match for safety reasons.

Latest expected lineup for Liverpool vs Tottenham

Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota

Tottenham Hotspur:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bergvall, Bentancur, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Johnson

Latest Liverpool vs Tottenham football commentary

Liverpool players reportedly gathered on Wednesday night to watch Arsenal's game against Crystal Palace, which, if Arsenal lost, would have led to huge celebrations in the red half of Merseyside. However, the 2-2 draw was enough to keep the title race alive for a little while longer.

However, Arsenal will only have a slim theoretical chance in the next 48 hours, because if Liverpool avoid defeat to Arsenal's cross-city rivals on Sunday, they will officially be crowned Premier League champions in front of the Kop fans.

When Liverpool last won the title during COVID times in 2020, Anfield was empty. But this time, fans will soon be parading around with inflatable trophies as players kiss the real thing, thanks in part to the work of a local boy.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's deflected volley was enough for Liverpool to beat Leicester City over the Easter break, meaning that unless they lose their remaining five games and Arsenal win their final four, Slot will become only the fifth manager in history to win the Premier League in his first season in England.

Before Slot, only Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Manuel Pellegrini and Antonio Conte had ever achieved that feat, and with a 14-game unbeaten run in the Premier League at Anfield – including six consecutive wins – Slot could probably wear a “champion” T-shirt under his outerwear with confidence.

The gap between the two sides in the Premier League table is now 42 points – Tottenham are pretty much fighting for their lives for the rest of the season. However, they can still help to end Arsenal’s slim hopes by stopping Liverpool.

Ange Postecoglou will remember the moment a section of Spurs fans cheered when their team lost to Manchester City last year, effectively ending Arsenal's title dreams. It will be interesting to see if a similar scenario is repeated if Tottenham fail at Anfield.

While Spurs were in contention for Champions League qualification last year, their most realistic target now is to avoid finishing 17th, following Monday's 2-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest – their fourth defeat in their last five Premier League games.

Tottenham fans, however, need not worry too much about their domestic form, as they still have a bigger goal: winning the Europa League. Next week, they host Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of the semi-finals and could face Athletic Bilbao or Manchester United in the final if they overcome the Norwegians.

By coming from behind to beat Liverpool in this season's EFL Cup semi-final, Tottenham extended their winless run at Anfield to 15 games – Liverpool have won all three of their most recent meetings, scoring four goals in each game – so Arsenal can hardly expect their cross-city rivals to help them extend their title race.
