Tottenham are facing an injury crisis with the likes of Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Ben Davies, Wilson Odobert and Richarlison still on the sidelines.

To make matters worse, Spurs will also be without James Maddison and Pape Matar Sarr due to suspension.

Everyone else should be available for selection for the Reds, including Conor Bradley, Jarell Quansah, Kostas Tsimikas, Wataru Endō, Harvey Elliott, Darwin Núñez, Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa, who will be hoping for significant playing time.

Head coach Arne Slot is two games away from his first final in charge of Liverpool, but the Premier League and Champions League are also high priorities.

The Dutch coach will have to weigh up the options of rotating his squad with a massive away game against 3rd placed Nottingham Forest in the Premier League next week.
