The big games just keep coming for Liverpool and this evening is no exception, with Jurgen Klopp's side taking on Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield in the Premier League.
A win or even a draw for the Reds will send them to the top of the table before Manchester City have the chance to respond against Newcastle United on Sunday at the Etihad. Liverpool supporters will be praying for a favour from the Toon Army but before that, Jurgen Klopps side must overcome a Spurs side who are hunting down a Champions League qualification spot.
It promises to be yet another night of high drama at Anfield, so here's a round-up of the pundits see if going.

Michael Owen - Liverpool 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur
Former Liverpool player and now BT Sport pundit, Michael Owen recognises the size of the task but can't see anyone stopping the Reds.
He said: “I’m running out of superlatives for this Liverpool side, the wins just keep coming. It wasn’t an emphatic performance, but the win last week at Newcastle was huge. That comeback win in Spain on Tuesday is bound to mean they enter this in great spirit. Luis Diaz changed the game against Villarreal, and I’d expect to see him from the start here.
"This one is huge for Spurs. Considering Arsenal’s recent form, I don’t think Spurs can afford to lose this game. Son has been in brilliant form, and he’s in the running for the golden boot. However, I can’t not pick Liverpool. No side in Europe is in better form than them and they just don’t look like losing, particularly at Anfield."
Mark Lawrenson - Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur
Match of the Day pundit Mark Lawrenson has shared his thoughts on the match in his weekly predictions column for the BBC website.
He said: "It's been another great week for Liverpool. I was commentating on their Champions League tie against Villarreal and the Reds were all over the place in the first half, but I said at half-time that I thought they would be fine because it had been a superhuman effort by the Spanish side. They were never going to be able to keep that up.
"Now the Reds have two more cup finals to look forward this season, and I think they will see off Tottenham too, to maintain their challenge. An evening kick-off under the Anfield lights will help boost the atmosphere, but the main reason I am backing Jurgen Klopp's side here is more down to the fact Spurs are so unconvincing on the road.

"Antonio Conte's side got that brilliant win over Manchester City at Etihad Stadium in February, of course, but the frustrating thing for Conte is that they have not played like that often enough. This is another big game so I think Spurs will be up for this one too, and cause the Liverpool defence some problems, but not as many as Mohamed Salah & Co will cause them at the other end."
Paul Merson - Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur
Sky Sports pundit and ex-Arsenal player Paul Merson can see a tricky match for Jurgen Klopp's side but still thinks Liverpool will edge it. Writing in his column for Sportskeeda, he said: "I think the way Liverpool play suits Tottenham as Antonio Conte wants teams to come at them. That said, they struggle stylistically against teams that sit back, so this is a really tricky test for Liverpool. Spurs have done the double over Manchester City in the Premier League this season. They could produce another telling moment in the title race by upsetting the Reds at Anfield, but I think Liverpool will just edge this one.
"It wouldn't shock me to see Spurs get a positive result because of the way they play and their position in the Premier League top four race. However, my money is on Liverpool as things stand. Jurgen Klopp's side were atrocious in the first-half against Villarreal and if that happens against Spurs, they are out of the Premier League title race.
"Speaking of Liverpool's attacking unit, the addition of Luis Diaz has sort of transformed them. He is ahead of Diogo Jota at the moment. Although they are two very different footballers, their flexibility allows the Reds to line up in many different ways based on the opposition. With Sadio Mane also in the mix, you only know that Mohamed Salah is going to play as a right winger as the rest of them could pretty much play anywhere!"
