Jordan Henderson

The captain will start in a defensive midfield role as he had done successfully against Arsenal. He will be up against one of the toughest midfield in the league in Victor Wanyama and Eric Dier and His performance will be key to the reds leaving White Hart Lane without a defeat.

Georginio Wijnaldum

The Dutchman hasn't set the world alight with his performances as a midfield role is not his favoured position. But he needs to deliver good performances regularly if he wants to start regularly. Klopp mentioned flexible football yesterday in his press conference as Wijnaldum is expected to execute his midfield role to perfection.

Adam Lallana

Lallana received a new lease of life when Klopp arrived at the club. With the arrival of Sadio Mane, his place seemed to be under threat. But with the manager favouring 4-3-3 this season, the 28-year-old has been a revelation in the midfield role and scored a delightful team goal against Arsenal.
