Mousa Dembele vs Philippe Coutinho
Behind Suarez, Liverpool’s primary creator-in-chief will be pint-sized Brazilian Philippe Coutinho. The former Inter Milan starlet will line-up centrally and attempt to pull the strings in the final third.
With Spurs set to play a 4-2-3-1 formation again, the task of stifling Coutinho will fall primarily to Sandro and Mousa Dembele.
While Sandro has already said he is looking forward to tackling his compatriot, when ‘the Beast’ has his hands full with Suarez, the usually forwarding-thinking Dembele will have to work diligently to deny Coutinho time and space on and off the ball.
