How Liverpool could line up against Tottenham Hotspur

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate should make a swift return to the fold for Sunday's Premier League battle with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.

The France international was nowhere to be seen in Wednesday's win over West Ham United, although Jurgen Klopp affirmed that the decision to leave him at home was more of a preventative measure than anything else.

Konate's return would mean that the Reds will work around their three known absentees for the crucial top-four showdown, as Roberto Firmino (muscle), Stefan Bajcetic (adductor) and Calvin Ramsay (knee) sit out again, while Naby Keita (muscle) and Diogo Jota (back) will need assessing closer to kickoff.

In Konate's absence, Joel Matip stepped in for a rare Premier League start at the London Stadium and completed the Reds' turnaround with a bullet header, but the Cameroonian now looks poised to drop back down to the bench.

Konate and Virgil van Dijk will expect to form the wall in front of Alisson Becker, as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson - both of whom registered an assist in midweek - bomb down the flanks.

An unchanged midfield should also comprise Curtis Jones, Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, as Thiago Alcantara - who escaped a late handball shout on Wednesday - is restricted to a substitute outing once more.

Aiming to score for the seventh Premier League home game running, Mohamed Salah ought to link up with Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez - who can take advantage of any uncertainty over Jota's fitness to return to the first XI - in the final third.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez
