Latest Tottenham vs Liverpool team news
Tottenham's midfield was weakened by two absences due to the Africa Cup of Nations: Pape Sarr was with Senegal and Yves Bissouma was with Mali, although Bissouma was already unavailable due to injury and disciplinary issues.
Regarding injuries, Dominic Solanke (ankle), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Destiny Udogie (thigh), and James Maddison (torn anterior cruciate ligament) are still unavailable. However, Radu Dragusin (fitness) and Kota Takai (thigh) have played in internal friendlies and appear to be nearing readiness.
Archie Gray was partly at fault for Spurs' opening goal against Forest, but Rodrigo Bentancur wasn't much better. Therefore, Joao Palhinha and Lucas Bergvall are both likely to start this weekend.
As mentioned, Salah has gone on duty at the Africa Cup of Nations. This wouldn't be too worrying if his replacement – Dominik Szoboszlai – hadn't suffered an ankle injury in the match against Brighton.
According to Slot, Szoboszlai “didn’t look well” after the match and was one of two Liverpool players injured this past weekend, along with Joe Gomez (muscle). Conor Bradley has served his suspension and could play in place of the English defender.
Jeremie Frimpong may return after a thigh problem, but Wataru Endo (ankle), Cody Gakpo (muscle), and Giovanni Leoni (torn cruciate ligament) are definitely out.

Latest football match prediction: Tottenham vs Liverpool
Just when Tottenham seemed to have rediscovered stability under Thomas Frank – who led them to an impressive comeback draw against Newcastle United, followed by convincing wins against Brentford and Slavia Prague at home – disaster struck at City Ground.
Nottingham Forest's duo, Ibrahim Sangare and Callum Hudson-Odoi, practically spun the entire Spurs squad, contributing three goals and three assists to the Europa League champions' heavy 0-3 defeat. Tottenham have now lost three of their last five Premier League matches.
With the team languishing in the bottom half of the table – six points behind Chelsea in the final Champions League qualifying spot – rumors about Frank's future are heating up. However, he still enjoys the club's trust at this time.
Nevertheless, there are internal concerns for the Danish manager, who risks adding to Spurs' forgettable history this weekend; if Tottenham lose, they will reach 11 home defeats in the Premier League in 2025 – the most in the club's history in a single calendar year.
The Lilywhites have shown some improvement, winning three and losing only one of their last five matches at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but that's unlikely to reassure fans after last weekend's "horror."
"Horror drama" is perhaps the most fitting term to describe Liverpool's off-field troubles over the past few weeks, but things have temporarily calmed down after last weekend's victory against Brighton & Hove Albion, when Mohamed Salah – given a chance to shine – wrote another chapter in history.
Despite being 33 years old and no longer a regular starter, Salah came off the bench and assisted Hugo Ekitike's second goal in the 2-0 victory. With that assist, he set a new record for the most goal contributions in the Premier League for a single club: a staggering 277.
Now that Salah has left with the Egyptian national team for the Africa Cup of Nations, Liverpool can be pleased that they have adapted to his absence – they haven't lost a single game in their five matches since he lost his starting place.
Liverpool are currently seventh and could break into the top four if results are favorable. However, considering only teams that have played continuously in the Premier League, only Bournemouth (16) have conceded two or more goals in more away games than Liverpool (15) since the start of last season.
Nevertheless, Arne Slot's side overcame their poor away form by beating Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League. Liverpool also won their last two encounters with Tottenham with a combined score of 9-1, including a crushing 5-1 victory to clinch the title on April 27, 2025.
