- Liverpool welcome Luis Suarez back to the side after an 8-match suspension and the Uruguayan could go straight back into the starting line-up despite Carroll, Kuyt and Bellamy all scoring last time out.
- Dalglish could line-up with a 4-4-2 formation, but must decide between the likes of Spearing, Henderson, Adam and Downing in midfield.
- The back-four will remain unchanged from the 3-0 win over Wolves in midweek.
- Harry Redknapp will have left much of the preparation for the Liverpool game down to Kevin Bond and Joe Jordan having spent much of the week on trial for tax evasion.
- The wheeler-dealer did manage to bring in two rather strange signings on deadline day though, with veterans Louis Saha and Ryan Nelsen both joining the club and Pavlyuchenko and Pienaar leaving.
- Lennon and Defoe are both severe doubts for Monday night's game, while van der Vaart and Walker could also miss out, though the latter should be fit.
- Younes Kaboul has been ruled out with a knee injury, so Michael Dawson should partner Ledley King at the heart of the Spurs defence.
Hope Gerrard shows that he is still the key man of this team!
