Here’s the latest team news and confirmed lineups for Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this afternoon. After losing 1–0 to Galatasaray in the Champions League, Liverpool aims to bounce back. A win would significantly improve their chances of qualifying for the Champions League, especially since they are close to the top four. Despite a recent loss to Wolverhampton, Liverpool has remained consistent in 2026 after a tough autumn.
Tottenham’s recent performance has been disappointing, highlighted by a 5–2 loss to Atlético Madrid on Wednesday. Igor Tudor has struggled to turn things around since taking over from Thomas Frank, losing all four of his initial matches. Tottenham is now fighting against relegation, especially after West Ham earned a point against Manchester City on Saturday. Gathering points is crucial as the Premier League season approaches its final stretch, and Tudor will hope for a positive outcome today.
Below are the confirmed lineups for Liverpool vs Tottenham.
