Liverpool host Tottenham at Anfield today as they resume their push for a maiden Premier League title.
Jurgen Klopp’s men will know they must be flawless for the remainder of the campaign if they are to deliver that elusive championship to their supporters, with this weekend’s clash with Spurs likely to set the tone for their run-in.
The visitors had been a genuine contender for the title mere weeks ago before a torrid sequence of results left them looking nervously over their shoulders. A single draw and three defeats from their last four league games has seen Spurs’ points cushion drastically cut.
Team news
Tottenham are without Eric Dier and Harry Winks for today’s game against Liverpool at Anfield.
Dier was forced to withdraw from the England squad last week after picking up a groin injury in the 5-0 win over Czech Republic, while Winks is continuing on-field rehabilitation after a groin injury.
Right-back Serge Aurier will be assessed ahead of the game after sustaining a hamstring strain while on international duty with the Ivory Coast.
For Liverpool, long-term absentees Joe Gomez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have returned to full training with the squad, but neither is ready for a match day yet.
Right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri have also resumed training after recovering from injuries which forced them to withdraw from international duty with England and Switzerland respectively.
Here are all the statistics you need to know about the two teams.
