Injury updates for Liverpool and Tottenham before their Premier League match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Liverpool returns to play on Saturday (17.30 BST) as they travel to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
The Reds have had a fantastic start to the 2023–24 season, especially in light of their problems the previous campaign and the considerable roster changes they underwent over the summer.
The lone blemish on Jurgen Klopp’s team’s record is a 1-1 tie on the opening day at Chelsea. The team has won seven straight games. Following that, Liverpool won its next six league games, along with its opening match of the Europa League, and advanced to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with a 3-1 victory over Leicester City.
However, they will face a Tottenham team that has been receiving high praise ever since Ange Postecogleu took over in the summer, which many would consider to be their hardest test to yet.
