Arsenal&#8217;s recent 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace means that just one more win will help Arne Slot win their 20th league title, which gives them even more added desire to treat their next league game like a cup final itself and secure a big win to bring joy to their fans. Here is our Liverpool predicted lineup.<\/p>\n<h2>Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur for 2024\/25 Premier League Clash<\/h2>\n<h3>How Liverpool Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n<p>The Dutch gaffer will be adamant about continuing to use his strongest lineup for this game despite having a sturdy lead over Arsenal in the title race. Alisson Becker remains the undisputed no. 1 at Anfield ahead of Giorgi Mamardashvili&#8217;s arrival and continues producing sturdy performances. Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk continue to be the go-to centre-back partnership. Trent Alexander-Arnold, despite his <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/03\/14\/liverpool-trent-alexander-arnold-real-madrid-2\/\" target=\"_self\">links to Real Madrid<\/a>, should return to the starting XI alongside Andy Robertson after the right-back&#8217;s heroics in the win <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/04\/20\/liverpool-predicted-lineup-leicester-city-apr\/\" target=\"_self\">over Leicester City<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Slot has trusted his hard-working players in Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch to help them dominate matches in the midfield. Dominik Szoboszlai faces competition from Curtis Jones in the advanced midfield role. Mohamed Salah is undroppable with 27 goals in 33 Premier League matches this season, while Cody Gakpo also has that left-wing role settled. Luis Diaz faces competition from Diogo Jota in that centre-forward role and the former should return to the starting lineup for this.<\/p>\n<h3>Liverpool Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Liverpool have recovered pretty well after losing the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United before the March international break. They have secured three wins in their last four Premier League games, which included the narrow win over Leicester City in their previous game.<\/p>\n<p>Arne Slot continues to trust his reliable 4-2-3-1 formation at Liverpool because of its ability to get the best out of so many players. He&#8217;s confident with his four-man defensive line, urging them to maintain a high line and also giving the full-backs utmost freedom to burst forward to help the forwards. The midfield pivot of Gravenberch and Mac Allister are mostly tasked to regain possession and help keep things moving in midfield, with the latter given a license to roam forward to be a bigger goal threat.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch gaffer has allowed Salah to excel in his system because the Egyptian winger is given total freedom with his movement in the opposition box or where he plans to position himself. That has resulted in 45 goal contributions (27 goals, 18 assists) in the Premier League. Even the likes of Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota have impressed, with the former given the chance to burst through that left flank to cause trouble and the Portuguese forward being able to drop into key areas to disrupt the opposition backline. The Reds have been explosive on the counter-attacks with rapid moves and have also improved their set-piece quality in recent weeks, resulting in some important goals.<\/p>\n<h3>Liverpool Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Fortunately for Slot, he&#8217;s not having to deal with too many injury concerns right now. Defender Joe Gomez remains the only absentee for the Reds, as he&#8217;s still recovering from a hamstring injury. The English defender <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/latest-liverpool-injury-news-return-31494529\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">could be back<\/a> for the final few matches of the 2024\/25 season.<\/p>\n<h3>Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur<\/h3>\n<p>GK \u2013 Alisson<\/p>\n<p>RB \u2013 Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/p>\n<p>CB \u2013 Ibrahima Konate<\/p>\n<p>CB \u2013 Virgil van Dijk<\/p>\n<p>LB \u2013 Andy Robertson<\/p>\n<p>CM \u2013 Ryan Gravenberch<\/p>\n<p>CM \u2013 Alexis Mac Allister<\/p>\n<p>AM \u2013 Dominik Szoboszlai<\/p>\n<p>RW \u2013 Mohamed Salah<\/p>\n<p>LW \u2013 Cody Gakpo<\/p>\n<p>CF \u2013 Diogo Jota<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool can secure the 2024\/25 Premier League championship by defeating Tottenham Hotspur in their upcoming clash at Anfield on Sunday, 27 April 2025.
