Today, Liverpool fans may be the day Anfield erupts as an amazing team of Arne Slot’s great players win the Premier League title.
It’s in Liverpool’s hands. This afternoon, the Reds must avoid a defeat against Tottenham Hotspur and put a trophy out of Arsenal’s reach and formally end their four-year domination of Manchester City.
Liverpool is the 2024/25 campaign, the slots are in the dugout for the first time, such balance and Quipoise steering in consumer-friendly quality at every corner of the pitch.
It’s been a long time since Liverpool started Premier League Match Week under the Division Summit. In fact, before City stumbled, it was a 9th round fixture in terms.

Spurs and Liverpool have been playing memorable matches at Anfield in recent years, but this could be a bunch of choice if the hosts are nervous and get the job done professionally.
Slot and his coterie have been able to keep Liverpool stepping on the water this season on the front of their injuries. There are not many set-offs to disrupt this potentially basin opportunity.
Latest Liverpool Team News
Joe Gomez is planning to miss out once more as he continues to recover from his injuries. However, the versatile defender is expected to feature by the end of the season.
Trent Alexander Arnold has won the bench highlight winner at Leicester City, but Connor Bradley may recreate his place with right back.
Tyler Morton is still out and is upset by ongoing shoulder issues. It would have featured a young midfielder anyway.
Fringe stars like Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa are looking forward to a few minutes, but the slot could make a dramatic change as Liverpool needs professional performance to win the title.
But the Dutch may make one or two tweaks. Dominique Schizobosilai begins to be dropped from his position, where he is proud of his midfield.
Why should Slots drop Dominique Schbosilai?
Szoboszlai has been a regular feature, starting 25 times in the Premier League throughout Slot’s first season. He drifted under Jurgen Klopp last year, but appears to be more focused and confident in his football.

However, Szoboszlai has not yet mastered the scoring skills of creating goals for his teammates. Over Liverpool’s total of 89 appearances, Hungary has only won 14 times and has supplied 11 assists.
A 24 year old should be dropped as he has been to five Premier League matches without notching goal contributions. Szoboszlai brings a ton of energy and tenacity to Liverpool’s first team, but Pundit Jamie Carragher recently said that the Reds can “improve” when attacking midfield.
He’s not a dramatic upgrade from a prolific perspective, but the host may want to consider unlocking Curtis Jones from the start against the struggling aspects of England International’s Anjipost Ecoglu.
Also welcomed with his “special” qualities and a “full” approach with slots, Jones, who played a key role this season, lined up things at the center, adding dimensions to the edges of the danger area, and moving forward as much as he could.
According to FBREF, he has been ranked in the top 7% of the central midfielders in Europe’s top 5 leagues over the past year, with top 2% for target involvement, top 5% for touches in offensive penalty area and top 20% for take-ons per 90.
A successful take-on is recorded when the player defeats the opponent while bringing the ball directly into the possession.
This is an array of strength across the midfield game’s sweep, certainly highlighting Jones’ ability to influence the match.
With three goals and seven assists in 41 matches in every tournament this year (just 24 starts), Jones’ ball-playing ability clearly helps the strength of playmaking that could pull Mohamed Sarah and Cause back.
It’s no wonder he won his keep in the three-Lions set up and was moved by the international stage too.
Jones is crisp and has proven to be a very efficient ball carrier who not only has incredibly completed 94% of his passes in the Premier League this season, but has also been successful with 67% of his dribbling according to his sofa score.
It is important to reach this volatile Spurs defense late this afternoon, as Liverpool’s front line is not the sharpest form of a group and requires support from behind.
Jones also shows his passion and dedication to the Liverpool cause, which is what is being made to face Lily White, and I am sure the boyhood star is desperate for outstanding performances in a match that can close the challenging chapter of the title and actually send Liverpool back to the top of the British pyramid.
That’s not to say that Szoboszlai doesn’t bring the fiery strength of his own brand to the contest, but it could be the perfect option for Jones to play alongside Alexis Mac Alistair and Ryan Gravenburch in this one.
