Team News
Trent Alexander-Arnold didn’t make the Liverpool squad for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup victory having been sidelined since early October, but the right-back has rejoined first-team training and could pull through in time. Thiago is also absent with a hip problem which has kept him out since April.
Manager Jurgen Klopp is expected to make vast changes from his midweek XI for the trip to London, with Mohamed Salah, Alisson and Virgil van Dijk among those set to return.

Gakpo 45’+4 (1-1)
Matip OG 90’+6 (2-1)
I think we can take some solace from the fact that it took Spurs almost 100 minutes, two wrongly called off/onside calls, and an own goal, to beat 9 men.
Also, Klopp just dropped the new "If I speak ":
For you it is funny. For me it is just expensive.
This ref is bullshit. The first yellow on Jota was so fucked.
What the fuck is going on with the refs today
And then the yellow on Robertson? I can’t believe this shit
This is so frustrating
The second was clearly a dive too…
This is unbelievable. Curtis clearly went for the ball
Yeah, that was an absolute bullshit red!
Ref was like that was only first bullshit red, what about second bullshit red?
Can’t believe how awful the officials were! They were so awful that I’m agreeing with GARY NEVILLE for fuck’s sake! (He said after Curtis’ red that the officials ruined the game)
My only win from the game is now my wife can’t complain about Jota getting away with a kick to the face a while ago.
So proud of the boys for fighting an uphill battle the way thy did. This was disgraceful officiating on so many levels.
Can’t control the reds, fuck Tottenham, hope we absolutely smash them at Anfield
The boys in red did a really great job under the circumstances. Really proud of them for keeping the game competitive and staying in it against all the odds.
♥️ YNWA Matip ♥️
What a way to lose it.
Great goal by Gakpo. Should have been two, that ball from Salah was sublime
Salahs passing/ assisting, he was amazing before but it seems to have stepped up even more this season.
Following this game via the notifications from the Liverpool app. Man, what a rollercoaster
My wife follows Tottenham so we always have a fun day of back and forth when these teams play.
Up the Reds!
Suspicious that no lines where shown for this on TV…
Think it may be time for a Nunez second half. The only way we are getting goals here is on the break.
We’ll see if they’ll try to target Gomez with Son. IIRC Gomez had a pretty solid game agaist West Ham, so hopefully he’ll build on that.
Hope so too. Though Son is a different animal. He’s one of the few Spurs players over the years that I always am worried about.
Time to go to the top of the table
