The prodigal Son returns from Asian Cup success and warms the bench today. Vorm replaces Lloris in goal.
Klopp arrives looking for a Wembley win for the fourth time of asking. He's brought Keita in for Henderson.
Mo Po looks like going either 4-1-2-1-2 or 4-3-1-2, I can't tell the difference if I'm honest.
Klopp goes a straight 4-3-3, and quite frankly who can blame him?
It's not often I say it, but come on you Spurs.
Spurs : Vorm; Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Dier, Dembele, Winks; Eriksen; Lucas, Kane
Subs: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Davies, Sanchez, Wanyama, Lamela, Son
Liverpool : Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Salah, Firmino, Mané
Subs: Mignolet, Fabinho, Matip, Moreno, Henderson, Shaqiri, Sturridge
Spurs 21/10
Liverpool 6/4
Draw 13/5

Preamble by Niall McVeigh :
After that inconvenient international break, the Premier League is back with a bang. And where better to get the party restarted than Wembley? Although as with an uninspiring England friendly, those at the ground today may wish they were somewhere else.
This was supposed to be the day Spurs began life in their new stadium, a gleaming reward for the recent lack of squad investment. Instead, the move has been put back, triggering a run of on and off-field misfortune that has eroded any optimism fostered by winning their first three games.
Liverpool come here as league leaders with four wins from four, but their fortunes at the new Wembley are in stark contrast to the old ‘Anfield South’. They’ve lost their last four competitive games here, including a 4-1 thrashing last season that tore their title ambitions to shreds.
Both managers have something to prove – Mauricio Pochettino is desperate to rediscover the team who won 3-0 at Old Trafford, while Jürgen Klopp wants to show that, the odd Brazilian blunder aside, his team has the defensive nous to launch a genuine title challenge.
