Liverpool will win the Premier League title with a point against Tottenham, who have named a much-changed side for the clash at Anfield.

The Reds are poised to celebrate record-tying 20th English league title after Arsenal fell away in what has long since been a one-sided race to top the pile.

And a player who is seemingly set to leave the club come the end of the campaign will hope to help Liverpool over the line after being restored to the starting XI.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are clearly focused on the Europa League.

Trent Alexander-Arnold makes his first Premier League start since February.

The right-back is seemingly set to join Real Madrid at the end of the season, but scored the winning goal as Liverpool took another step towards the title with a 1-0 victory at Leicester City last time out.

He comes in for Conor Bradley, while Andy Robertson replaces Kostas Tsimikas on the left side of defence.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz.

Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Nunez, Chiesa, Jones, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Quansah.

Ange Postecoglou makes eight changes from the side that lost 2-1 to Nottingham Forest on Monday.

Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Pape Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur are omitted from the midfield, the latter missing out altogether. James Maddison, Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray form the Tottenham engine room.
