Liverpool vs Spurs line ups confirmed as Mohamed Salah decision made

Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to the Liverpool team that hosts Tottenham on Sunday afternoon.

The right-back missed Wednesday's game at Genk through illness and didn't even travel with the squad but is now back in for his 99th Reds appearance against the team he made his debut against a little over three years ago.

Dejan Lovren continues at centre-back, however, as Joel Matip's absence goes on.

The Liverpool defender missed Wednesday's 4-1 win in Belgium and is once more absent.
