Liverpool head south to London this Sunday to take on Tottenham Hotspur, who come in on the back of a win against Wolves last weekend.
But another interesting thing about this encounter is that Tottenham also took part in the Europa League in mid-week and only managed a draw against PAOK. (although they were playing a young side)
Team News
Liverpool FC Injuries: Glen Johnson (Doubtful, Hamstring), Steven Gerrard (Doubtful, Groin), Martin Kelly (Doubtful, Groin)
Tottenham Hotspur Injuries: Michael Dawson, Sandro (Long Term Injuries) Rafael van der Vaart (Doubtful, hamstring), Aaron Lennon (Doubtful, groin), William Gallas (Doubtful, calf), Steven Pienaar (Doubtful, groin), Tom Huddlestone (Doubtful, ankle)
Head to Head
At Tottenham: Liverpool 20 wins, Tottenham 33 wins, 15 draws.
Ambition
Tottenham have had a rocky start to the new season, but with fixtures against Manchester United and Manchester City, who can really blame them? Whilst Liverpool come in on the back of their first loss of the season, Spurs come in on the back of their first victory of the new campaign.
Both sides should be fighting for that elusive 4th spot which gives them a lucrative entry into the Champions League and this one is perhaps an ‘early decider’.
Probable Starting Lineups
Tottenham: Friedel, Walker, King, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Parker, Modric, Bale, Defoe, Adebayor.
Liverpool: Reina, Flanagan, Agger, Carragher, Enrique, Adam, Lucas, Bellamy, Gerrard, Downing, Suarez
