Overview
- Dominik Szoboszlai trained partially and will start at Tottenham if he comes through the final session fully fit, according to Arne Slot.
- Joe Gomez is ruled out, with Conor Bradley back from suspension and Jeremie Frimpong returning to the squad after injury as Liverpool manage seven other absences.
- Cody Gakpo’s scan was described by Slot as promising, with the forward expected to return sooner than first feared but not this weekend or next.
- Mohamed Salah has joined Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations and will miss the match, with an external ‘supercomputer’ forecast of a last‑16 exit for Egypt reported as a prediction only.
- Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner said Marc Guehi is likely to remain at Selhurst Park until the end of the season, indicating a January move to Liverpool is unlikely.
