Liverpool are on the verge of clinching the Premier League title. The Reds\u2019 1-0 win away at Leicester City on Sunday leaves them needing just three more points to be crowned champions.<\/p>\n
Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> marked his return from injury by scoring the winner off the bench at the King Power Stadium just minutes after coming on against the Foxes. His strike means Liverpool<\/a> can now win the title by beating Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield<\/a> next weekend.<\/p>\n Following Alexander-Arnold\u2019s return, Arne Slot<\/a> was left with a near fully-fit squad to pick from to face Leicester, with Joe Gomez the only senior player still absent.<\/p>\n READ MORE: ‘Proven to be talking garbage’ – media react to Liverpool win and Trent Alexander-Arnold response<\/a>READ MORE: Liverpool transfer now virtually guaranteed as suitors expected for substitute<\/a><\/p>\n The Dutchman made two changes against the Foxes as Cody Gakpo <\/a>and Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a> came back into the starting XI, with Diogo Jota<\/a> and Curtis Jones both dropping to the bench. Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa was left out of the matchday squad altogether.<\/p>\n With the majority of his squad to pick from, Slot will face another selection dilemma against Spurs next weekend. And the ECHO<\/a> weighs up the changes he could make as Liverpool look to win the title\u2026<\/p>\n Trent dilemma<\/strong><\/p>\n Slot faces a selection dilemma when it comes to Alexander-Arnold following the Reds vice-captain\u2019s return from injury. He was limited to substitute action against Leicester, having only just recovered from an ankle injury, but his match-winning heroics will leave him knocking on the door to start against Spurs.<\/p>\n However, his future remains the subject of speculation ahead of his contract expiring this summer, with the defender expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer. Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher<\/a> has suggested he should not start again this season if so.<\/p>\n Conor Bradley<\/a> has started at right-back since his own return from injury, with Carragher insisting the Northern Irishman should keep his place.<\/p>\n It remains to be seen if Slot would feel the same following Alexander-Arnold\u2019s return, though the Dutchman insisted it would be ridiculous to question his commitment to the club this season. While Liverpool could manage the England international carefully, given his recent return from injury, the Reds head coach has a difficult decision to make regarding who starts at right-back.<\/p>\n He also faces a dilemma on the opposing flank, with Kostas Tsimikas starting Liverpool\u2019s last two matches following a difficult afternoon away at Fulham for Andy Robertson. The Greek is well-placed to retain his place, though the Scot will be hoping for a recall as the Reds look to clinch the title.<\/p>\n Szoboszlai stutters<\/strong><\/p>\n After Szoboszlai was recalled to the starting XI against Leicester, it would not be a surprise if Slot named an unchanged midfield against Tottenham. However, the Hungarian was admittedly not at his best again against the Foxes.<\/p>\n Harvey Elliott<\/a> impressed after emerging from the bench in his place and will be desperate to be handed a first Premier League<\/a> start of the season. Alternatively, Curtis Jones is also an option at number 10.<\/p>\n Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister look set to continue in the deeper midfield berths, though Wataru Endo is also an option if Slot wishes to rotate.<\/p>\n Same old striker question<\/strong><\/p>\n Liverpool\u2019s ongoing striker dilemma continued at Leicester as they struggled to take their chances against the Foxes before Alexander-Arnold\u2019s winner.<\/p>\n
