Combined Liverpool & Tottenham XI Using Brendan Rodgers’ 3-4-2-1 System: No Place For Daniel Sturridge Or Steven Gerrard As Six Spurs Stars Get In

Midfield
Jordan Henderson, Christian Eriksen

Liverpool often pick Lazar Markovic at right wing-back, which means whoever is playing on the right side of their midfield-two gets left with much more defensive work than is ideal.

However, with Walker and Rose on the flanks, this team can afford to stick a creative and less defence-minded player in the centre of the park. That’s where Eriksen fits in, leaving Henderson to do the dirty – but equally important – work.
