Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool : Three key Liverpool players that must perform in the Wembley showdown

Liverpool visit to Spurs presents the Reds with the chance to consolidate on the League position as they sit firmly at the top of their radar.

But if this feat is to be achieved, then certain players on the Liverpool shirt must come to the party as quality performance would be required to make it so.

It presents other Liverpool players with the chance to affirm the club cause as the trio of Sadio mane, Mohamed Salah and defender Virgil Van Dijk’s have done already in the season.

With the task at hand as expected, we evaluate three Liverpool stars that must rise to the occasion at Wembley against Tottenham.

Naby KEITA

The Guinea international is a candidate for midfield battle as Christian Eriksen, Dele All and Harry Winks lie in wait in the middle of the park for Liverpool.

The player may have had his ups and down via adaptation and a couple of injuries. But this is his game to prove a point and help his side secure a possible win on the road against the London side.

This is possible as he’s shown like a star in the group stage win against RC Genk in the UEFA Champions League with a quality goal for himself.

ROBERTO FIRMINO

The Brazilian would lead the line as usual alongside African Pair Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

But he’s got to produce the samba magic as expectation lies ahead in the game.

His performance would aid his side’s course while also lifting the attacking burden on the African duo as the “Brazilian act’ from him will be needed to turn the tide against Mourinho’s Tottenham side.

JORDAN HENDERSON

As his Liverpool side visit London to face rival Tottenham Hotspurs a lot will be desired of the midfield player.

He must be involved in a lot of midfield rudiment to Liverpool’s advantage while also offering the inspiration along in the game.

This is what he needs to while also breaking up the attack of the opposition and set-up his side in transition with a good ball in the middle.
