Liverpool have a lot of ground to make up on Tottenham ahead of their meeting in north London today.
Despite a string of unconvincing displays, Antonio Conte’s side have largely found a way to pick up results and they sit third in the table, already ten points clear of Liverpool though they have played a game more.
They come into this big Premier League clash on a high after winning their Champions League group with a last-gasp win over Marseille in midweek, though it did come at a cost with Heung-min Son suffering fractures to his eye socket.
Liverpool also won in midweek, though it was not enough for them to top their group, and their focus is now on salvaging what they can from this first part of the season. Trent Alexander-Arnold has admitted the Reds need to pick up a result against Spurs if they are to keep their top-four hopes alive.

Tottenham vs Liverpool team news
Son is almost certain to miss out as he undergoes surgery on a fracture around his left eye, putting his participation at the World Cup later this month in serious doubt.
Cristian Romero is not expected to return until after the tournament as he battles a calf injury in another blow to Conte. Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison are both nearing returns but this weekend is likely to come too soon.
James Milner has been ruled out of Sunday’s match due to concussion protocols following a head injury picked up against Napoli, but Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Jordan Henderson is fit and available.
Darwin Nunez came off the bench to score in the Champions League and will be hoping that cameo is enough for him to earn a place in the starting lineup.
Tottenham vs Liverpool prediction
It’s difficult to know what to expect from either of these sides, with Liverpool unable to produce any consistency and Tottenham seemingly incapable of putting together a complete performance over more than 45 minutes.
Another slow start from Spurs will surely be punished by Liverpool, who had plenty of chances in their defeats to Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.
With the hosts weakened further by the absence of Heung-min Son, this looks like a real chance for the Reds to close ground on their top-four rivals.
Liverpool to win, 2-1.
