Defenders:
While Jon Flanagan should start on the left back slot, Glen Johnson will man the other flank for the Reds. Both the wingbacks have been a reliable option for Brendan Rodgers in the leaky Liverpool defense and the English duo will look to join in attacks keeping the Tottenham wingers from cutting open the home side’s defence. Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger will be at the heart of Liverpool’s back line as they have a battle on their hands going out against the significant threat of Adebayor and Eriksen this Saturday.
Midfield:
Steven Gerrard’s brilliant free kick opened the scoring in midweek and the Reds captain will again start in his quarter back role. Jordan Henderson and Joe Allen will be a part of the flexible diamond in midfield while Rodgers should opt for Philippe Coutinho at the top just behind the strikers up front. The Brazilian for me, was Liverpool’s best player on the pitch against Sunderland and he should get the nod ahead of Raheem Sterling against Spurs.
