Choosing a starting 11 will be no easy task for either Jurgen Klopp or Mauricio Pochettino. Both Tottenham and Liverpool have a flurry of players competing for a place in their team squads for the 2019 Champions League final.
But, with 2 days ahead of the big game, here are the anticipated line-ups. Here are also the players you can use for FootballCoin’s accompanying fantasy football contest.
Liverpool – Predicted line-up
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Mane, Salah, Firmino
Here are the key takeaways from this:
- Jurgen Klopp is likely to choose a tried and tested formula
- Divock Origi, the Reds’ hero in the semi-final against Barcelona, will likely be left on the bench
- Naby Keita could miss the match due to a muscle strain
Tottenham – Predicted line-up
Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Sissoko, Wanyama, Alli, Eriksen, Son, Moura
Here are the takeaways from Pochettino’s likely starting 11 choices:
- Harry Kane’s condition will be touch and go until the start of the game. It’s likely he will not be in the first team
- Lucas Moura benefits from Kane’s absence and will attempt to follow-up on his hat-trick against Ajax Amsterdam
- Dele Alli, Jan Vertonghen and Danny Rose have all fought injuries recently, but are expected to play
