Arne Slot’s biggest selection decisions could come at full-back this weekend when Liverpool takes on Tottenham Hotspur in a potentially title-deciding clash.
The Reds head coach tried to play down the significance of Sunday’s game against Spurs, insisting he was treating it like every other match and was focusing on simply taking three points.
Despite the league being all but wrapped up for several weeks, the Liverpool boss has stuck mainly with the team that helped establish such a huge lead in the early weeks of the season.
“There’s a lot of research done about the longer the team plays together, the better they start to play, or the more often they play together, the better they play as well,” Slot said ahead of the Spurs game.
“That’s why I am not a big fan of rotating the team every game by five, six, seven positions.
The only changes in recent weeks have come in the wide defensive areas, with Trent Alexander-Arnold injured and Andy Robertson dropping out of the side.
Slot even discussed whether the Northern Ireland international is ready to play 90 minutes yet after his own injury issues, while Jamie Carragher has called for Bradley to be given a run in the side over the coming weeks to see if he is ready to step up as the team’s first choice in that position.
At center-back, Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk will almost certainly play ahead of Alisson in between the sticks.
