Liverpool vs Tottenham Predicted Lineup: Iraola to Rotate in EFL Cup Clash

LFC Globe matchday coverage with an illustrated football pitch

Expect Andoni Iraola to make wholesale changes to the lineup vs Tottenham. He has already confirmed that Giorgi Marmadashvili will start in goal and that Joe Gomez will come in on the back line. In fact, with a few exceptions, I expect the entire Starting XI to be different.

The Explanation

Iraola says he wants to win and says he will try his best to do so, which is expected, but he also has to consider that Liverpool have had three games in a short amount of time. He was not used to the Champions League at Bournemouth, so this will be a new challenge for him. Wataru Endō will get a start, as will Lewis Koumas, on the wing or up top

Other Possibilities

Iraola says you could see a lot of new faces who have not played much before; that means he could call up some unknown players from the youth squad to see some action.

LFC Globe Verdict

This is a hard one to predict because there will be so many changes. Hopefully, the strategy pays off in a victory.

Have Your Say

Do you think Iraola should rotate his players this heavily? Let us know below.
