Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi has expressed strong confidence in forward Dominic Solanke, believing he will soon return to the form that made him a £55 million signing from Bournemouth last summer. Solanke scored 19 times in the 2023-24 Premier League season for Bournemouth, but has struggled to replicate that success since joining Spurs, scoring just 12 goals in 35 league games. Tottenham's recent 0-0 draw with Everton highlighted the team’s ongoing issues in front of goal, particularly in the Carabao Cup, where they have yet to score in four matches. De Zerbi emphasized that he has explored all options to improve the team's attacking performance, including working closely with Solanke. Solanke's performance has been affected by an injury sustained during Tottenham's pre-season tour in New Zealand and Australia, which limited his preparation time. Despite this, De Zerbi recalled a strong performance from Solanke when he played against his former club Brighton in September 2023, scoring in a 3-1 win for Bournemouth. The manager believes that once Solanke is fully fit, he will return to scoring regularly, stating, “Dom is a sensitive guy. He needs to feel full confidence – and from myself, he has big, big confidence.” De Zerbi is determined to give Solanke a chance against Liverpool at Anfield, whether starting or coming on as a substitute. Beyond Solanke, De Zerbi has also integrated Omar Marmoush into the squad, who scored seven times for Manchester City in the second half of the 2024-25 season after joining from Eintracht Frankfurt. However, the manager has acknowledged that attacking options have been limited in the Carabao Cup. To address this, De Zerbi has focused on team bonding and tactical development, taking players to dinner and emphasizing video analysis and training drills focused on attacking crosses and regaining possession in the final third. Players have also participated in voluntary extra shooting sessions, showing a willingness to improve. With injuries affecting several key players, De Zerbi will make changes to the lineup for the upcoming match against Liverpool. Sandro Tonali is out with a knock, Pedro Porro is still sidelined, but Destiny Udogie has returned. Richarlison, despite being eligible, will not play, while Mohammed Kudus is ready to start. James Maddison is unavailable, and several players, including Marcos Senesi, Tosin Adarabioyo, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall, and Mathys Tel, are in contention for spots in the starting XI. Tottenham has not won at Anfield in 17 matches, adding pressure to the team as they look to break that streak.
