Sunday’s criticism might push Frank to rethink using an extra defender, potentially freeing up space in midfield. This could see Xavi Simons returning to face his former club as the team’s playmaker, with the question being whether he slots into a midfield trio or operates from the left side of the attack.
Pedro Porro is set to reclaim his spot in the starting XI, leaving Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence to compete for the left-back role. Frank may also reintegrate returning players, possibly introducing Pape Matar Sarr or Lucas Bergvall to strengthen the midfield. Up front, Randal Kolo Muani could start against his parent club instead of Richarlison, while Brennan Johnson is unavailable due to his red card suspension from the previous Champions League match against Copenhagen.
Here’s the Tottenham lineup we expect Frank might field against Luis Enrique’s Parisian side:
(4-3-3) Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Palhinha, Bergvall; Kudus, Kolo Muani, Xavi.

Konaté: “Success Will Come” Despite the uncertainty, Konaté remains optimistic. Speaking in a recent interview, the French centre-back emphasized that this phase is part of a bigger journey. According to him, Liverpool are still adapting — especially with new players settling into the squad. He believes that with time, chemistry will improve and trophies will follow. 🏆 He also pointed to last season’s success as proof that the team has what it takes to bounce back stronger. 🤝 A Call for Unity More than anything, Konaté stressed the importance of togetherness between the team and its supporters. He praised the Anfield faithful and urged everyone to stay united, insisting that better days are ahead if patience is maintained. ❤️ Interestingly, his comments come at a time when his own future at the club remains uncertain, with his contract situation yet to be resolved heading into the summer. 🔍 What Happens Next? Liverpool’s season is now entering a defining period. Results must improve, injuries need to clear, and stability must return — both on and off the pitch. But if Konaté’s words are anything to go by, belief inside the squad is still very much alive. And sometimes… that’s all it takes before everything turns around. 👀🔥
