Diogo Jota will return to the Liverpool starting lineup against Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg on Wednesday.
Liverpool are in impressive form right now, but they were held to a draw against Manchester United at the weekend. The Reds will be desperate to bounce back strongly when they lock horns with Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday night, looking to grab an advantage in their bid to progress to the competition’s finals.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will be without Joe Gomez, who misses out with the hamstring injury he picked up a couple of weeks ago. Dominik Szoboszlai could be a part of the squad, but the Hungarian International is unlikely to start here. The creative midfielder is recovering from illness. Meanwhile, during his pre-match press conference, Arne Slot provided an update on Szoboszlai.
Arne Slot said, “Yesterday he wasn’t in [training] yet. If he’s in today, I would doubt if he’s available to start the game. But hopefully he’s in today. Yesterday he wasn’t.”
Caoimhin Kelleher is likely to start instead of Alisson Becker against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday. Liverpool are expected to rotate their squad this midweek.
The away side will shape up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Conor Bradley and Kostas Tsimikas will start in the full-back areas, and they will look to contribute at both ends of the pitch. Jarell Quansah is expected to come in here, and he will start alongside Virgil van Dijk in the central defensive partnership.
As for the midfield unit, Ryan Gravenberch will start alongside Wataru Endo in the double pivot. The pair will look to add control and defensive cover to the side from the deep. In the attacking midfield role, Harvey Elliot could be handed a start here, with Curtis Jones getting some rest.
Mohamed Salah will start on the right flank, with Darwin Nunez on the left in a makeshift role. They will look to add goals, creativity, and pace from the wide areas. Finally, Diogo Jota is expected to lead the line for Liverpool against Tottenham on Wednesday.
Predicted Liverpool XI: Kelleher; Bradley, Quansah, van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Endo; Salah, Elliot, Nunez; Jota
