Liverpool travel to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon in search of a much-needed three points to get their Premier League season back on track.
The Reds have suffered defeats in both their previous two top-flight outings and are in desperate need of a strong display in a bid to keep their European hopes alive. Jurgen Klopp's side played out two thrilling draws with the Lilywhites last term but will look to go one better as they prepare to take on Antonio Conte's men.
Jordan Henderson is expected to be included in the squad on Sunday, despite being absent for Tuesday night's 2-0 victory over Napoli at Anfield. Issuing an update on the club captain to reporters on Friday afternoon, Klopp said: "So, Hendo, yes, he's available. He trained yesterday completely normal so should be fine. He had a little thing but serious enough to not be involved in the last game."

One individual who will miss out, however, is vice-captain James Milner. The veteran midfielder was forced off during the first half of the Napoli contest due to concession and will have to wait a little longer to make his 600th Premier League appearance.
"When you go through a concussion protocol you are not available for the next game because you have to go through different stages," explained the Liverpool boss. "So, he is fine but still that's how it is [and] rightly so. We have to go to different stages and that means he is available for non-contact training on Monday and full contact training on Tuesday if everything goes well."
Athur Melo, Diogo Jota, Joel Matip, Luis Diaz and Naby Keita remain sidelined. Below is the full squad available to Klopp ahead of the team's trip to the capital.
Goalkeepers: Adrian, Alisson, Caoimhin Kelleher.
Defenders: Andy Robertson, Calvin Ramsay, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, Kostas Tsimikas, Nat Phillips, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk.
Midfielders: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Curtis Jones, Fabinho, Fabio Carvalho, Harvey Elliott, Jordan Henderson, Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara.
Forwards: Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino.
Sidelined: Arthur Melo (muscle issue), Diogo Jota (calf), James Milner (concussion), Joel Matip (calf), Luis Diaz (knee), Naby Keita (back in training after lengthy lay-off).
