Liverpool team news v Spurs: Iraola rings the changes as forward line completely revamped

Liverpool brace for a revamped forward line as they prepare to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup third round. Andoni Iraola has made 10 changes to the starting XI from the Fulham goalless draw three days ago. Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili takes the place of Alisson Becker, who starts on the bench. Defense sees Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez returning to the starting lineup, while Ronald Araujo partners Joe Gomez in the center.

Joe Gomez, who has been out with injury, makes his comeback. Midfield features the youthful Trey Nyoni, James McConnell, and the seasoned Alexis Mac Allister. The forward line is entirely revamped with Rio Ngumoha, Cody Gakpo, and Lewis Koumas in the starting lineup, playing in the number 9 role. Backup options include Bradley Barcola, Alexander Isak, Victor Munoz, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Ryan Gravenberch.
