However, it would not be an easy task as the north London club will also be in the hunt to consolidate themselves at the third position in the table with a win against the Reds at Anfield. Tottenham lost their last match in the Premier League by 2-1 against Southampton and will look to get back to winning ways against the Reds.
Team News
Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp has a few candidates doubtful for the next match. Defender Trent Alexander-Arnold and midfielders Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri are recovering from their respective injury concerns and would be assessed ahead of the next encounter. Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Joe Gomez will not be a part of the squad for the next match as well.
Tottenham Hotspur
Manager Mauricio Pochettino also has a few injury concerns to deal with ahead of this crucial clash. Midfielders Eric Dier and Harry Winks along with defender Serge Aurier are all set to miss the match with injury worries. However, the return of the first choice right-back Kieran Trippier to the starting lineup will definitely be a big boost for them.

Liverpool
Alisson, Andrew Robertson, Virgil Van Dijk, Joel Matip, James Milner, Fabinho, Adam Lallana, Georginio Wijnaldum, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino.

Key Men
Liverpool
There is no shortage of match winners in the Liverpool lineup. The likes of Salah and Mane are equally capable of notching up important goals and get the better of the opposition defence. Eyes will also be on Van Dijk, who has been in tremendous form this season in the backline for the Reds. His battle with Kane is expected to be one of the most intriguing contests of the next match between Liverpool and Tottenham.
Tottenham Hotspur
Harry Kane will be the man to look out for in Spurs’ clash against Liverpool. The England skipper has not had the best of forms and looked a little subdued in the last few outings. However, all of that can change in the next match against the Reds if Kane rediscovers his ominous touch in the next game. Heung Min-Son could also spell danger for the hosts with his ability to score crucial goals.
Odds
Liverpool: 1.60
Draw: 4.33
Tottenham Hotspur: 6.00
