Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon, with the two teams likely to be vying for fifth place and a Europa League spot this season.

The Reds have a game in hand on Spurs but are currently two places and one point behind them – Aston Villa the team separating these sides. Even so, Jurgen Klopp’s team are on a three-match win streak and look better-settled in possession than earlier in the campaign.

With home form still strong they’ll be the favourites heading into this encounter, particularly following Spurs’ thrashing by Newcastle in their last away game.

Ryan Mason did, however, manage to get a response out of his team to fight back for a 2-2 draw in midweek against Man United, in what was his opening match at the helm after taking over from Cristian Stellini.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the game.

What is the team news?

There are no new real worries for the hosts, who should have Ibrahima Konate back after missing midweek. Roberto Firmino, Stefan Bajcetic and Naby Keita are all out, so the only real call is if Thiago comes into midfield.

Spurs remain without Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur in midfield, while goalkeeper Hugo Lloris missed the midweek draw with Man United and may be left out once more. Emerson Royal is also sidelined.

LIV – Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Jones, Salah, Gakpo, Jota

TOT – Forster, Romero, Dier, Lenglet, Porro, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Perisic, Son, Kulusevski, Kane

Prediction

Liverpool’s home form has been good even when performances wavered earlier in the campaign and Spurs will wilt if Anfield is rocking. Liverpool 3-1 Tottenham.
