Liverpool are likely to make a few tweaks to their starting eleven for the trip to Tottenham today. The Reds were struck by another new injury blow in midweek when James Milner limped out of


their Champions League victory over Napoli. Jurgen Klopp's side go in search of a much-needed three points in the Premier League this afternoon (4.30pm) after suffering back-to-back


league losses. Express Sport looks at how Liverpool may line up with three changes from Tuesday night. GOALKEEPER - ALISSON Arguably Liverpool’s most consistent performer this season,


Alisson has saved more expected goals than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League and has kept four clean sheets. He has only kept two shut-outs in nine appearances against Spurs but has


never lost to the north Londoners. He has played every game possible for the Reds so far this term and that run will continue at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Brazilian may get a


potential rest in midweek when Caoimhin Kelleher should come in to face Derby County in the Carabao Cup third round. MUST READ: LIVERPOOL PLAYERS BELIEVE THEY HAVE A 'YOUNG LIONEL


MESSI' IN ELLIOTT DEFENCE - ALEXANDER-ARNOLD, KONATE, VAN DIJK, ROBERTSON Ibrahima Konate could keep his place in Liverpool’s starting eleven after impressing against Napoli, with the


ever-present Virgil van Dijk alongside him to help cope with Harry Kane. That’s after Joe Gomez made a costly mistake against Leeds last weekend. Trent Alexander-Arnold should keep his spot


at right-back. Andy Robertson may return to the starting XI as one of very few players to do themselves justice against Leeds a week ago. Kostas Tsimikas started against Napoli but should


drop back to the bench in favour of the Scot who is Klopp’s first-choice left-back. MIDFIELD - HENDERSON, FABINHO, THIAGO Milner is Liverpool’s latest new absentee after being forced off


against Napoli. But captain Jordan Henderson is fit again and should return to the team as a result as their second change. Klopp’s biggest decision is selecting between Henderson or Harvey


Elliott. Fabinho should start again as Klopp looks to help the Brazilian rediscover form while Thiago Alcantara is virtually undroppable. Naby Keita remains unavailable but Elliott, Alex


Oxlade-Chamberlain, Curtis Jones and Fabio Carvalho will be options from the bench. ATTACK - SALAH, FIRMINO, NUNEZ Darwin Nunez has five goals in his last eight matches and will surely start


for the Merseyside outfit in north London. He only came off the bench earlier in the week, when Jones instead started in the front three, but got himself on the scoresheet and will be asked


to cause Spurs problems. With Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota both sidelined, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino are effectively guaranteed starters. Salah and Nunez could start as a front two with


Firmino as a No 10 behind them or Klopp could name a front three with Firmino down the middle, Salah to the right and Nunez on the left. PREDICTED LIVERPOOL XI VS TOTTENHAM: Alisson;


Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Nunez
