Arne Slot will shift to a 4-2-3-1 formation as Liverpool faces Tottenham without Mohamed Salah (AFCON) and potentially Joe Gomez (injury). Following his four goals in two matches, Hugo Ekitiké is expected to lead the line alongside Alexander Isak.

The biggest absence may be Joe Gomez in defense. Salah was able to come on as a replacement in the last match, but with Salah away, Andy Robertson will have to go a full 90 if possible. If not, Milos Kerkez can slide in that spot, though he is a more offensive-minded player

Liverpool Team News vs Spurs: Injury Updates

• ✅ Federico Chiesa: Expected return from illness.
• ⚠️ Jeremie Frimpong: Resumed light workouts; unlikely for Spurs.
• ✅ Alexander Isak: Fit to feature despite recent knock.

It will be interesting to see if he pairs with Hugo Ekitike as they did vs Milan. Arne Slot will provide further updates concerning availability at his pre-match presser and check out LFC Globe’s injury page for more details.

Tactical Verdict: How Slot Replaces Salah

Slot changes up his formation a bit to a 4-2-3-1. Slot plays Hugo Ekitike up top as he has four goals in his last two EPL matches. Dominik Szoboszlai can play all over the pitch, but I think he plays an even bigger role in Salah’s absence on the wing. Ibrihima Konaté played much better in the last match so that will take some pressure off a four-man back line.

LFC Globe Prediction

The Tactical Verdict: Richarlison is the Spurs most dangerous man for sure leading the squad with 6 EPL goals. Mohammed Kudos leads the team with 5 assists. They don’t look like the same team without Son Hueng-Min attack, but they can still give the Reds fits especially on their home ground.

Key Stat to Watch: Liverpool have yet to lose an EPL match this season when scoring first. Liverpool have won 4 out of their last 5 matches against Spurs by a combined score of 15-4.

Final Score Prediction: Tottenham 1 - 3 Liverpool

Star Man: Domonik Szoboszlai
