Liverpool vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result, latest updates and fan reaction

LIVE: Liverpool vs Tottenham - (Getty Images)

Liverpool vs Tottenham LIVE

Tottenham have picked up their first point under Igor Tudor after earning a deserved draw away at Liverpool on Sunday. The Reds were handed a huge incentive in the race for Champions League qualification with both Chelsea and Aston Villa losing earlier in the weekend.

Meanwhile, Spurs kicked off at Anfield above the relegation zone by virtue of a superior goal difference to Nottingham Forest and West Ham after their rivals both picked up a point against Fulham and Manchester City respectively. Hopes of a result on Merseyside were somewhat boosted with Arne Slot opting to leave Hugo Ekitike and Mohamed Salah on the bench, perhaps with one eye on next week’s Champions League decider against Galatasaray.

Dominik Szoboszlai's free-kick in the first half looked to be difference between the two sides but there was a late sting in the tale as Richarlison equalised in the 89th minute to earn Spurs a draw. Follow the game LIVE back with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Sam Tabuteau at the ground.

For so much of that game Spurs looked completely out of it, but they have to take great credit for hanging in there and striking late.

It is hard to overstate just how important that point could be for Spurs and Tudor.

18:19 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Richarlison looks to have sealed a crucial point, how vital could that be. The Brazilian deserves that, he has worked so hard today and has got a vital, vital goal.

GOAL! Liverpool 1-1 Tottenham | Richarlison ‘89

18:19 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

89 min: SPURS LEVEL!

88 min: Simons gets a yard and shoots but the effort is straight at Alisson.

18:14 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Spurs, as they have been all game, are still in this. Liverpool, though, are the only ones pushing to score right now.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

18:07 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

78 min: Gakpo and Salah combine again, the latter floats a cross to the back post for Robertson but his header is blocked. Gravenberch then has a shot deflected into Vicario’s hands.

At the other end, Richarlison is inches away from connecting with Gray’s cross.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

18:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

77 min: Gakpo sets the ball back for Salah but he gets under the ball and shoots over. Final action from the Liverpool star has been missing since coming on.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:59 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

71 min: Gakpo into Salah and the latter tries to pick out Ekitike but gets too much on his pass which forces the Frenchman wide and the attack fizzles out as Spurs win a free-kick.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:56 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

68 min: Richarlison with a effort with the outside of his boot but it’s straight at Alisson. Liverpool go straight down the other end and Ekitike can’t sort out his feet and fires wide.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:55 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

67 min: Tottenham afforded a bit too much space and Porro puts the ball into the box, it’s beyond Richarlison at the back post and he can’t keep the ball in play despite his best efforts.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:54 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

66 min: Like-for-like Liverpool changes. Salah goes over to the right, Ekitike down the middle and Jones into the No10 role, though he could be an option at right-back at some point.

Sam Tabuteau at Anfield

17:52 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Here come the cavalry for Liverpool. Arne Slot will know the longer this stays 1-0, the more Spurs will grow in confidence.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:52 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

63 min: Moment of concern for Alisson after Tel stands up a cross to the back post, he is bumped into by Solanke and Liverpool earn a free-kick.

Triple change from the home side follows as Ngumoha, Wirtz and Frimpong make way for Salah, Ekitike and Jones.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:49 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

60 min: Superb pass from Ngumoha into Wirtz but the German doesn’t make the most of a presentable opportunity and Spurs are able to clear their lines.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:48 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

59 min: Tel getting some instructions from Tudor as Porro delays the taking of a throw-in deep inside his own half.

Sam Tabuteau at Anfield

17:44 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Xavi Simons is on.

Spurs are still in this despite having largely been under the cosh. Get the ball into Richarlison and you feel they could make something happen.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:43 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

55 min: CHANCE!

Richarlison is in again and he does well to hold off Van Dijk before getting his shot off and Alisson makes a really good save.

Spurs striker claims his shirt was being pulled.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:39 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

51 min: Danso gets some distance on his long throw, launching the ball right into the centre of the six-yard box but Van Dijk is aware to make the clearance.

At the other end, Frimpong’s cross finds Ngumoha at the back post but the youngster can’t get enough bend on his shot and Vicario watches the ball go wide.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:36 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

47 min: PENALTY?

Ngumoha goes down under a challenge from Souza but his penalty appeals are waved away and Igor Tudor is then shown a yellow card.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

46 min: No changes for either side at the break. Looking at both benches though, Liverpool certainly have the better options as Spurs are depleted without 13 senior players.

KICK-OFF!

45+2 min: Into bonus time and the end of stoppage time and Spurs have a corner.

Tel takes, Richarlison gets his head to it and Alisson makes a fine save.

Sam Tabuteau at Anfield

17:16 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

The problem for Tottenham, as it was against Atletico, is that Liverpool are not actually playing that well and yet Spurs look powerless to do anything.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:15 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

45 min: Two minutes of stoppage time has been signalled.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:15 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

44 min: CHANCE!

Almost an equaliser for Tottenham as Tel picks out Richarlison in the box but the Brazilian puts his header wide.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:14 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

43 min: Szoboszlai whips the free-kick in at pace but Spurs clear. The ball comes straight back at them and Van Dijk wins it twice, though none of his team-mates gambled in the middle.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:12 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

42 min: Chants of “Rio” rings around Anfield after Ngumoha displays some more trickery. The youngster than wins a free-kick after being shoved by Souza. Decent position this.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:11 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

41 min: Liverpool really do have Spurs penned in here but the visitors are hanging in with less than five minutes until the break. Can they get in just trailing by the one goal or better?

Sam Tabuteau at Anfield

17:08 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Great save from Vicario to keep out Gakpo's shot. He will be disappointed with his attempt to save Szoboszlai's free-kick, but he has kept Spurs in the hunt there. If Liverpool get a second it could open the floodgates.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:06 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

35 min: CLOSE!

Liverpool inches away from doubling their lead as Mac Allister finds Gakpo whose shot is tipped onto the post by Vicario.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:04 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

34 min: CHANCE!

Liverpool break at speed, Szoboszlai finds Wirtz who checks back in the box and picks out Ngumoha in acres of space, but the youngster’s left-footed shot is charged down.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

17:02 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

32 min: Liverpool pressure grows as Vicario doesn’t get much distance on his clearance, thus allowing Gakpo to eventually win a corner after Sarr gets back to clear a cross.

Corner doesn’t lead to anything serious.

Sam Tabuteau at Anfield

17:00 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Mathys Tel has just gone on a one man crusade down the left flank, but with no one supporting him, he runs in to trouble. Spurs just can't get out right now. The goal has sucked the momentum out of them.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

16:59 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

29 min: Liverpool guilty of overplaying a little bit in the penalty box and it allows Tel to nip in and take Spurs up the pitch but he’s without much support and ends up losing possession.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

16:58 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

28 min: Not a free-kick expert, but this is not one of Dominik Szoboszlai best ones this season.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

16:56 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

26 min: Ngumoha gets the Liverpool supporters off their seats by skipping past two challenges and then picking out Frimpong with a lovely switch of play. Such an exciting talent.

Sam Tabuteau at Anfield

16:54 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Spurs had settled into this game, but as soon as the foul was given, you just knew Szoboszlai was going to score. All the early enthusiasm Spurs had been building has now disappeared.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

16:54 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

23 min: Important Tottenham stay in the game, Liverpool have upped the tempo since going ahead but you get the feeling Spurs can’t afford to concede another or it could get very ugly.

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham

16:51 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

20 min: Almost a second in quick succession for Liverpool as Gravenberch fires over after a brilliant run.

Sam Tabuteau at Anfield

16:50 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

I mean how predictable was that. Liverpool free kick edge of the box and Szoboszlai fires home.

It is not his best free-kick and Vicario got a big hand. The Italian should have done better.

GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham | Dominik Szoboszlai ‘18

16:49 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

18 min: LIVERPOOL LEAD!

Yes he can, Dominik Szoboszlai puts Liverpool ahead from the free-kick, though Vicario should probably save that.

Liverpool 0-0 Tottenham

16:48 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

17 min: Mac Allister is bumped off the ball by a combination of Gray and Souza. Free-kick to Liverpool and it’s in Szoboszlai territory. Can he do it again?

Liverpool 0-0 Tottenham

16:46 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

16 min: Really good defending from Spence up against the pacy Frimpong. The added bonus is a goal-kick when it looked like a corner. Good start from the visitors, against all the odds.

Sam Tabuteau at Anfield

16:43 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

There is some life in Spurs yet as Souza tests Alisson with the first meaningful shot of the game before Sarr is penalised from the resulting corner. Much better from the visitors.

Liverpool 0-0 Tottenham

16:42 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

12 min: Chance for Tottenham as Solanke does well down the left but his cutback just evades Souza in the box and Robertson makes the clearance.

Moments later, Souza forces Alisson to tip his effort over the bar.

Liverpool 0-0 Tottenham

16:40 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

10 min: Spurs caught out of position as Gravenberch finds Wirtz in between the lines, the German then picks out Gakpo who then makes a complete mess of his shot.

Liverpool 0-0 Tottenham

16:38 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

8 min: Tel just needs a moment to recover after the ball was clattered into him by Szoboszlai.

Sam Tabuteau at Anfield

16:36 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

All Liverpool so far, and Spurs do not look particularly confident clearing their lines. One way traffic at the moment.

Liverpool 0-0 Tottenham

16:36 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

5 min: Shouts of handball against Spence but nothing in that, Solanke feels he has been fouled but the referee disagrees, though Spurs survive that Liverpool attack.

Liverpool 0-0 Tottenham

16:34 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

4 min: Gray intercepts a pass into midfield by Van Dijk, drives forward and looks to release Tel but Szoboszlai reads the situation well and ushers the ball back to Alisson who rushes his clearance.

Sam Tabuteau at Anfield

16:32 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Souza appears to be playing at right-wing. It is another experimental move by Tudor, we will wait to see if it pays off.

Liverpool 0-0 Tottenham

16:31 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

1 min: Looks like a back four for Tottenham this afternoon with Spence at left-back and Souza on the right-wing ahead of Porro.

KICK-OFF!

16:30 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Away we go on Merseyside.

As it stands

16:29 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Victory for Liverpool will see them leapfrog both Chelsea and Aston Villa into fourth.

Tottenham can move three points clear of the relegation zone with a rare win at Anfield, but just need to avoid losing by a 13-goal margin to ensure they do not drop into the bottom three.

Sam Tabuteau at Anfield

16:26 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

The nerves will be sinking in now for Spurs, with West Ham and Nottingham Forest both having picked up points.

Against a rotated Liverpool side they can't just roll over and gift Arne Slot's men three points.

HERE WE GO!

16:26 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Kick-off is next.

Tottenham players told to get out of comfort zone

16:10 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Igor Tudor has implored Tottenham’s players to get out of their comfort zone as the threat of relegation looms ever larger.

Tudor has faced criticism for his tough love approach with Spurs’ squad, questioning, among other things, their fitness and commitment, as relations have appeared to fray during a disastrous three-week spell at the helm.

Asked whether his players should be able to handle his combative style, Tudor said he was not intending to criticise, but rather advise his squad to become better players.

Igor Tudor reveals message to Tottenham players amid relegation threat

16:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Igor Tudor has called on Tottenham’s players not to be victims of the club’s situation, which he has described as being like “black magic.”

Spurs’ season is spiralling out of control after they were beaten 5-2 by Atletico Madrid to leave their Champions League hopes in tatters, and Tudor admits it is not an easy situation, but one only his players can rectify.

Guglielmo Vicario returns in goal as one of four changes, while Conor Gallagher has not made the squad after struggling with fever.

Tudor said Gray would potentially be playing in a new position this afternoon, but with Gallagher out, it seems he has been restored to midfield. That is 13 players out through injury and suspension for Spurs, who have named just seven substitutes.

Vinai Venkatesham criticises Daniel Levy's running of Tottenham

15:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Tottenham chief executive Vinai Venkatesham has criticised former chairman Daniel Levy’s running of the club during a meeting with the Fan Advisory Board.

Venkatesham, who joined Spurs last April after 14 years at Arsenal, implied that under Levy’s stewardship the club had not prioritised on-field success and that player sales may have to be prioritised after years of loss-making.

In a long-ranging critique of the club’s governance, Venkatesham admitted that “significant change” was needed following an internal review of both the men’s and women’s teams.

Igor Tudor issues goalkeeper verdict after Antonin Kinsky nightmare

14:55 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Igor Tudor has said he did not drop first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario for Tottenham’s 5-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Tudor’s decision to hand Antonin Kinsky his Champions League debut against Atletico backfired spectacularly, with the Czech keeper making two huge errors as Spurs found themselves 3-0 down inside the opening quarter of an hour at the Estadio Metropolitano.

The interim head coach has made a habit of making bold selection calls during his tenure, but naming Vicario on the bench for Tuesday’s Champions League last 16 game was arguably his biggest decision yet, and one that did not pay off, with the Italian international brought on for Kinsky after just 17 minutes.

More on that here!

Predicted Liverpool XI

14:50 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Liverpool remain without record signing Alexander Isak, whom Arne Slot said was “with the rehab team still and not with the team yet” as he continues to recover from a broken leg, along with fellow long-term absentees Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni.

You would not expect too many changes from Slot from midweek despite the frustrating loss to Galatasaray, though Alisson will obviously return if ready and Jeremie Frimpong could come in for Joe Gomez at right-back.

Andy Robertson - who almost joined Tottenham in January - may be considered on the opposite side after Milos Kerkez’s disappointing display on Tuesday.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Ekitike.

(London Standard)

Predicted Tottenham XI

14:45 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Igor Tudor has made some striking decisions during his three weeks in charge, with one of those being to drop Xavi Simons and Conor Gallagher to the bench against Crystal Palace and Atletico Madrid.

Simons and Gallagher are seemingly out in the cold, though it remains to be seen whether Tudor will be swayed to change his mind as he continues to search for answers after a disastrous start to his tenure.

Predicted Tottenham XI (3-4-3): Vicario, Gray, Danso, Dragusin, Porro, Gray, Sarr, Gallagher, Spence, Kolo Muani, Tel, Solanke.

Tudor on the brink

14:40 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Liverpool are not the same formidable force that romped to the Premier League title last season, writes Sam Tabuteau.

Tottenham, though, are not in the habit of winning, having not done so in the league since December 28th, and have lost their last six games in all competitions for the first time in their history.

Igor Tudor is on the brink, and another defeat could spell the end for his disastrous tenure.

Liverpool wins: 94

Tottenham wins: 50

Draws: 44

Score prediction

14:20 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

Arne Slot should get his wish on today, playing a team that is unlikely to set up in a low block in an attempt to frustrate his Liverpool side. So there will be no excuses for not creating chances aplenty.

Then it will be on his attackers to be ruthless and put a poor Tottenham team to the sword.

At some point, you would assume Spurs will start picking up some wins and ease fears of relegation. We just don’t expect them to get anything at Anfield.

Liverpool to win, 4-1.
