Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted to have Adam Lallana available for their trip to Tottenham.
The 26-year-old playmaker has yet to feature for the Reds after suffering a knee problem during the Boston stage of the club's pre-season tour of America last month.
"Adam will definitely be in the squad because he looks great," Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo.
"He's obviously short of match fitness but that's the only thing missing. His quality and technical ability in training has been outstanding.
"He's a big talent with a great personality. He's ideal for what we're doing here. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready for the England squad this time around but he's a wonderful player.
"He's come in here as the captain of Southampton. He's a good character and has outstanding football ability. I think the supporters will see that over this season but we can't rush him. He has been out a long time."
