Liverpool look to maintain their winning run in the Premier League as they face off against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, December 20 (2025).
With Mo Salah unavailable, Arne Slot has been forced to change up his offensive shape.
Florian Wirtz seems to be on the left-wing and Dominik Szoboszlai more on the right side, with the gaffer stacking midfielders into his team.
However, some Liverpool fans are furious that Alexander Isak isn’t starting and has been benched for this clash. Here are some reactions from X (Twitter).
LFCLaurie: “We’ve had a whole week off and he didn’t even start against Brighton, and Isak still isn’t making the starting XI. I don’t get it.”
James Wathland: “I dont care benching Isak is criminal.”
Chambo: “Would have started Isak overr Macca but we should still be beating these.”
KP07: “Granted, Isak hasn’t been on top form but surely you start him in a game like this where he could have space?”
