Tottenham suffered a major blow at Stade Velodrome in midweek, with Heung-min Son withdrawn during the first half having suffered a fractured eye socket in a collision with Mbemba.
The South Korea forward is now a major doubt to appear for his country at the World Cup in Qatar later this month, and his personal blow compounds Spurs’ attacking woes with Richarlison also ruled out due to a muscle injury and Dejan Kulusevski unlikely to be able to start having only returned to light training in the past day or two.
Cristian Romero has missed his side’s last two matches with a muscle strain and may not be risked with the World Cup beginning exactly two weeks after this fixture, with Eric Dier potentially filling in as a right-sided centre-half once again in order to allow left-footers Lenglet and Davies to complete Conte’s back three.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Lloris; Dier, Lenglet, Davies; Emerson, Bissouma, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Moura, Kane
Liverpool, meanwhile, were boosted by the return of Ibrahima Konate to their backline against Napoli, and the France defender is likely to receive the nod ahead of Joe Gomez alongside van Dijk against Spurs.
Nunez scored from the bench against Luciano Spalletti’s side and should replace Curtis Jones on the left flank, while Andy Robertson and club captain Jordan Henderson were both rested altogether and should freshen up the side in place of Kostas Tsimikas and James Milner, who has been ruled out of contention after suffering concussion on Tuesday.
Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Arthur, Naby Keita and Joel Matip remain sidelined with long-term injuries.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Nunez
