Tottenham Hotspur left it really late but eventually got the job done away at the Stade Velodrome to land the top spot in their champions league group and would hope to take that form to the premier league when Liverpool visits on Sunday.

Spurs have been indifferent of late and they would need a strong result against Liverpool to believe again; Antonio Conte’s men rallied from two goals down to beat Bournemouth 3-2 last weekend, is this the rally season?

Liverpool is having a torrid season. They managed to beat Napoli 2-0 in midweek but still finished behind the Italian side and would now play group winners in the round of sixteen. Can Liverpool draw inspiration from the champions league game?

The Kops have lost back-to-back league games to teams they typically maul – Nottingham Forest away and Leeds United at home, how do you make sense out of what is happening to Jurgen Klopp’s side at the moment?

There’s an injury situation at both ends. The hosts watched Heung Min Son walk off the pitch in some degree of discomfort against Marseille and the South Korean is now in danger of missing out of the World Cup after eye socket surgery.

Liverpool still has the trio of Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, and Naby Keita out and will have to improvise if anyone drops off again; can we attribute Liverpool’s poor form to injuries, or the players have burned out following last season’s league and champions league disappointments?

How will they line up? Tottenham will set up to defend, Antonio Conte isn’t about to change his style for anyone and Liverpool must find a way past the low block. Pierre Emile Hojberg will be immense and so would be Thiago Alcantara if he is fit enough to dictate proceedings in the game.

Both sides need to win, Liverpool is fast losing relevance and fear factor in the league. The Kops are no longer in the title race and are slipping out of the top six conversations, are you worried for Klopp and the Kops? Tottenham would like to close the gap at the top, this is their chance.

Verdict: Both teams to score
