Tottenham vs Liverpool: Match Preview

The Lilywhites took a point away from the Emirates in a 2-2 draw with bitter adversaries Arsenal last weekend, while the Reds most recently overcame Leicester City 3-1 in the EFL Cup.

🎙️ "Liverpool bring something different in terms of the way they play. It'll be a really good test for us — we'll try and impose our football."

Spurs took four points from the first two of those encounters and now prepare to host a Liverpool side they have a dreadful record against, and who make the trip south having almost forgotten what it's like to lose in the Premier League.

Jürgen Klopp's team will arrive at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on a 17-game unbeaten run in the league, which is 10 matches longer than the current next best undefeated run in the division; coincidentally Spurs are one of those teams (with Arsenal) without a defeat in seven.

Liverpool have accumulated 41 points since their last loss, a 4-1 hammering by Manchester City in April, with Pep Guardiola's champions the only team to have won more (43) over the same period. They finished last season very strong and then made some smart acquisitions in the transfer market that helped ensure they continue to look reinvigorated.

Team News:

Tottenham:

Brennan Johnson was withdrawn on his first Spurs start at Arsenal with a hamstring problem. The club are due to give an update on the Wales international's fitness before the weekend's game, but Manor Solomon is primed to return to the starting XI if needed.

James Maddison jarred his knee at the Emirates but is expected to be fit, though Ivan Perisic, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ryan Sessegnon and Bryan Gil are unavailable.

Liverpool:

Trent Alexander-Arnold didn't make the Liverpool squad for Wednesday's Carabao Cup victory having been sidelined since early October, but the right-back has rejoined first-team training and could pull through in time. Thiago is also absent with a hip problem which has kept him out since April.

Jürgen Klopp is hopeful @TrentAA will be available for our trip to Tottenham Hotspur this weekend. 🗣️
