Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur: Combined XI

Defensive Midfield

Emre Can is being targetted by Juventus.

We are going with a two-man defensive midfield, one from each team, with Liverpool player (and Juventus target) Emre Can and Spurs midfielder Mousa Dembele making the lineup. Liverpool look much better when Can is playing, and that is why they have been trying to tie him up to a long-term contract. On the other hand, Dembele has always made a difference for Spurs, and had a solid game against Manchester United in the midweek.
