LIVERPOOL TEAM NEWS & PREVIEW
Liverpool take on Spurs at Anfield this weekend and the Reds will be hoping to put an end to their wretched run of form since the turn of the year.
Jurgen Klopp’s men have already dropped out of top four after failing to win a single Premier League game in 2017. They have won just once in all competitions this year.
The home side were beaten 2-0 by Hull City in their last game and the home fans will be expecting a much better performance against their top four rivals this week. Liverpool have an impressive record against the Londoners and are unbeaten in their last six against Spurs at home, winning four.
Danny Ings, Ejaria and Grujic are the only injury worries for the home side. Dejan Lovren is a doubt, but the Croatian should recover in time for kick-off.
Predicted Liverpool Starting Lineup (4-3-3): Karius; Clyne, Matip, Klavan, Milner; Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana; Coutinho, Firmino, Mane
TOTTENHAM TEAM NEWS & PREVIEW
Spurs were beaten by Liverpool in the League cup earlier this season at Anfield and the away side will be looking to get one over their top four rivals this time.

They are unbeaten in the last four Premier League away games and will be looking to make the most of Liverpool’s winless start to 2017 and secure the three points here.
Vertonghen, Nkoudou, Rose, Lamela and Trippier are all ruled out for the trip to Anfield.
Predicted Tottenham Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Walker, Dier, Alderweireld, Davies; Wanyama, Dembele; Eriksen, Alli, Son; Kane
