Both will be available at Anfield, along with a number of players who were injured for the first game.

And Slot admits having a month between the two semi-final matches has benefited Tottenham.

"Not that it matters a lot, but if you play one week later then normally you face exactly the same team again, and with all the injuries Tottenham last time we played them, it would have been a bit more in our advantage if we played them one week later - although we lost against the ones they had fit then.

"Indeed, now they have two more players.
