Huge price for Spurs, mainly down to their recent form. They have picked up just a point from their last 4 games and are now finding themselves in a top 4 fight. Liverpool have seen City regain top spot and now know they to win. The pressure will fully be on Liverpool and this has seeemd to affect the players over the last couple of months. Spurs haven’t played a game for 23 days - they would have had time to reset and they are worth backing for the shock.
Liverpool had a late win over Fulham in their last match, heading to the international break on a high, and having played a game more, they will be hoping to keep the momentum with Manchester City in hot pursuit in second place. They are unbeaten in 12 matches, with seven of those being wins and with five clean sheets. They have scored 14 and conceded four in their last five matches. Liverpool will definitely be the favorites in this clash against Spurs, who have managed just a win in their last five games, and have not won any of their last four league matches. In fact, Spurs have lost each of the last three away matches in the league and facing a Liverpool side unbeaten in 36 home matches will place them in a tricky position. Liverpool have won by three or more goals 13 of their last 26 home matches in all competitions and ptthey have scored at least two goals in 35 of their last 52 Premier League ptgames while five of Spurs’ last six away league matches have ended in over 2.5 goals.
All eyes will be on Anfield when Liverpool and Tottenham face each other in the Premier League derby. The Reds are eager to retain top position in the standings, whilst Spurs are eager to put an end to their four-match winless run in the English top flight. Tottenham’s participation in the Champions League is in danger, but despite the fact that Sunday’s football game is of big importance for the capital club, we are tempted to put our money on Jurgen Klopp’s charges as they will not have a better chance than this to win the domestic title.
Sadio Mane has been in a splendid form of late and we predict that the Senegal international is going to make life difficult for the opposition defenders. In the first half of the season Liverpool defeated Tottenham 2-1 at Wembley Stadium, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
Liverpool have only lost one of the last 24 home fixtures against Spurs but they have drawn eight of those also and i can see another draw on the cards here. This is a must win game for liverpool to keep the pressure on city but Spurs also need the points for champions league football and thou spurs haven't had a win in 4 they have drawn 2 of those and i think they can get another draw here.

Jurgen Klopp's side are currently top of the Premier League table by two points, but could be in second by the time kick-off comes around with Manchester City playing Fulham earlier on Sunday. Tottenham have slipped out of the title race in recent weeks and are now battling for a top-four finish, which Soccer Saturday pundit Thompson believes will make the game harder. "Spurs are always a top side. I think everyone loves the way they play the game, the way they love to build-up and they have got a top-class manager who likes to change things," he told Sky Sports News. "Spurs are still a dangerous side at any time. They may have lost three of the last four but you know them coming to Anfield, they may not be going for the title, but they need to consolidate to play in the Champions League because they need it in that magnificent new stadium of theirs. They are going to be fighting for those places so it doesn't make things any easier for Liverpool. "I'm expecting a massive game. They have big players and the nucleus of this wonderful England side is based around Tottenham players so Liverpool are going to have to be at their best on Sunday.» Sadio Mane is likely to be a key player for Liverpool - having scored six goals in his last four games in all competitions - while Mohamed Salah is experiencing a dry spell in front of goal. But Thompson believes Salah will turn up when needed, adding: "You can see Mane in front of goal whereas Mo is finding it very difficult to find one. Everyone is willing Mo to score goals, but Sadio is so full of energy and confidence and when he gets anywhere near the goal, you do expect him to score. "He is on fire but you feel with Mo that, when you need him, he always comes to the party and you feel like you are just getting ready to see him on fire before the end of the season. "We don't get enough from our midfielders so you need the front three. Roberto Firmino is a superb player and he makes things tick for Mane and Mo. "You do have to have concerns that Mo hasn't scored for a bit, but you look at the number of times he keeps getting into the positions. I wasn't a striker, but I talk to them on Soccer Saturday and they will tell you about getting in there all the time and it will come. "With Liverpool, if Mane dries up, Mo will come to the table and so will Firmino."
