Liverpool team for Tottenham Hotspur confirmed as Luis Diaz one of two changes

Jordan Henderson returns for Liverpool in one of two changes made by Jurgen Klopp for the visit of Tottenham Hotspur.

The Reds captain replaces Naby Keita as he lines up alongside Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho in midfield with Luis Diaz coming into the front three in place of Diogo Jota.

Diaz, who was so influential in his second-half cameo against Villarreal on Tuesday, is expected to move on to the left of the attack with Sadio Mane named down the middle and Mohamed Salah stationed on the right.
