Liverpool vs Tottenham lineups: Confirmed team news and starting XIs for today's Premier League match

Dejan Lovren starts for Liverpool in today's Premier League clash against Tottenham, while Mauricio Pochettino makes four changes for Spurs.

Lovren has had a bit-part role at Anfield this season, but lines up alongside Virgil van Dijk against a Tottenham attack featuring Harry Kane, Heung-min Son, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen.

There is no room for Spurs' record signing Tanguy Ndombele in Pochettino's starting lineup, with the midfielder joining Lucas Moura and Giovani Lo Celso on the bench.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain starred for Liverpool in the Champions League in midweek, but is only rewarded with a bench role today.

Liverpool will line up in their tried and tested 4-3-3 formation, while Spurs have opted for what looks like a 4-2-3-1 - though Son could easily be played further up alongside Kane in a 4-4-2 diamond system.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Salah, Firmino, Mane

Subs: Milner, Keita, Gomez, Adrian, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Origi

Tottenham XI: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Rose, Winks, Sissoko, Son, Eriksen, Alli, Kane

Subs: Vertonghen, Dier, Lo Celso, Lucas Moura, Ndombele, Davies, Austin
