If something miracle does not happen against Manchester City and Arsenal, there is no chance for Liverpool to win the league title this season. They had a great chance to win the title in the final season of Jurgen Klopp but dropped some crucial points in their last five league games, which left them out of the title race.
After losing to Everton in the Merseyside Derby, Liverpool had a 2-2 tie against West Ham United on Saturday. Additionally, things got messy for Liverpool when manager Jurgen Klopp was involved in a heated argument with Mo Salah at the touchline during the match against the Hammers.
However, Klopp confirmed that the issue has been solved, and they are looking forward to the match against Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow. The Spurs, on the other hand, have been struggling recently. They are now on a three-match losing streak and are desperate to get back on the winning track.
Stats & Facts
- Anfield has been a nightmare for Tottenham Hotspur. The last time they won a league match at Anfield was in 2011 when the Spurs defeated Liverpool by a 2-0 margin. Since then, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 29 home meetings with the Spurs in the Premier League.
- Since Liverpool lost to the Spurs away from home this season, a win would see Tottenham Hotspur completing the league double over Liverpool for the first time since the 2010-2011 season.
- Liverpool have suffered two defeats in their last five league games, while they lost two and tied two.
- Tottenham Hotspurs have conceded nine goals in their consecutive three defeats in the league and were only able to score against Arsenal during this run.
Team News
Liverpool are still missing Joel Matip, Ben Doak, Bobby Clark, and Thiago Alcantara due to their respective injuries, and they might not return again this season. However, Mo Salah is likely to return to the starting XI since Klopp confirmed the issue has been solved between them.
But skipper Virgil Van Dijk didn’t train and is still uncertain about tomorrow’s match. Conor Bradly has recovered from an ankle injury and is ready to back to the squad.
As for Tottenham Hotspur, manager Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Timo Werner and Ben Davies will miss the rest of the season due to their respective injury. Their injury list includes Ryan Sessegnon, Manor Solomon, Destiny Udogie, and Fraser Forster.

Possible Lineup for Tottenham Hotspur:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Emerson; Bentancur, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson; Son
Prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Tottenham
Internal issues are getting complex for Liverpool. Although Klopp confirmed his issue with Salah has been solved, Liverpool still have some problems according to reports. Both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are winless in their last two matches. So they both will be desperate to win tomorrow’s match, but we expect a draw at Anfield.
