Fixture: Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur
Competition: EFL Cup
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)

Liverpool have confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes to play host to Tottenham Hotspur in an EFL Cup fixture at Anfield tonight.

Jurgen Klopp's men reached the final of the competition last season and so far this term have seen off Burton Albion and Derby County, as they bid to go back to Wembley and go one better.




The Reds though must now overcome Spurs and to get the job done on home turf, Klopp turns to Simon Mignolet between the sticks, giving the Belgian some much needed game time. Lucas Leiva slots into defence and is the captain, while Ragnar Klavan also plays tonight. Albero Moreno starts, as does Kevin Stewart. Georginio Wijnaldum is back from injury and Marko Grujic also plays.

Up front Klopp has Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge, as he looks to shoot down Spurs. On the bench, the German can call for Danny Ings if needed, while Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana are other attacking options.
