3) Jordan Henderson v Christian Eriksen
The Spurs playmaker is given free licence in his national side, and allowed to roam the final third looking for space and possession.
With regular anchorman and England captain Steven Gerrard potentially rested, his Liverpool teammate Jordan Henderson could start in the centre of the park. Henderson’s work-rate is exceptional, and he’s capable of breaking up play as well as passing the ball himself. It will likely be up to him to cut off the supply line to Eriksen – meaning he could be asked to play in a slightly deeper role than he does for his club.
