The midfield trio features Archie Gray, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Lucas Bergvall. The attacking responsibility falls to Mohammed Kudus, Randal Kolo Muani, and Xavi Simons.
Liverpool start with Alisson Becker between the posts. Their defence is made up of Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, and Milos Kerkez. The engine room features Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, and Curtis Jones. The front three tasked with scoring are Dominik Szoboszlai, Hugo Ekitike, and Florian Wirtz.

Liverpool's substitutes are: Giorgi Mamardashvili, Alexander Isak, Federico Chiesa, Andy Robertson, Jeremie Frimpong, Trey Nyoni, Calvin Ramsay, Michael Ngoomoha, and Lucky. The presence of experienced players like Robertson and Chiesa indicates a strong bench for the visitors.
Tactical Implications and Match Outlook
The selected lineups reveal the tactical approaches of both managers. Tottenham's setup suggests an emphasis on youthful energy in midfield with Gray and Bergvall, combined with the proven quality of Bentancur. Their forward line boasts pace and creativity with Kudus and Simons supporting Kolo Muani.
For Liverpool, the inclusion of Kerkez at left-back and Bradley on the right shows a focus on attacking width from the full-back positions. The midfield blend of Mac Allister's control, Gravenberch's dynamism, and Jones's industry is designed to dominate the centre of the park. The front three offers a mix of goal threat, with Ekitike leading the line, and creative flair from Szoboszlai and Wirtz.
