This week’s Premier League game is a thriller in North London as Tottenham will host the league leaders Liverpool.
The Lillywhites’ season has been a rollercoaster of highs and head-scratching lows. But after dismantling Southampton 5-0, Ange Postecoglou’s side looks ready to take on Liverpool.
With the congested mid-table offering a chance to leapfrog into sixth, Spurs have every reason to push for a statement win.
On the flip side, Arne Slot’s Reds have defied expectations in their so-called rebuilding phase, but perfection has eluded them. A gritty draw against Fulham, highlighted both their resilience and missed opportunities.
With Chelsea breathing down their necks, the Reds need to rediscover their dominance. Fresh off a midweek Carabao Cup win, they’ll hope squad rotation has them ready to match Spurs’ flair with their own.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Tottenham vs. Liverpool lineups, team news
Tottenham’s injury woes continue with goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario sidelined until March, leaving a significant gap between the posts.
Adding to the challenges, Richarlison remains out with a thigh issue, and midfield dynamo Yves Bissouma is suspended due to yellow card accumulation.
Tottenham predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Forster (GK) — Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Udogie — Sarr, Maddison — Kulusevski, Son, Johnson — Solanke.
Liverpool’s defensive depth is stretched thin, too. Kostas Tsimikas, recently back from a foot injury, could slot in, but fitness concerns linger as he only made a brief midweek appearance.
The Reds also face setbacks at the back, with Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley unavailable for the clash. But the good thing is that Andrew Robertson is free from suspension for the clash.
Liverpool predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Allison (GK) — Trent, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson — Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo — Diaz.
Tottenham vs. Liverpool prediction
Both sides will need to adapt creatively to their absences, setting up an intriguing battle of resilience and tactical ingenuity at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, it’ll be Spurs’ attack up against the Liverpool defense looking to adjust to the scenario.
After an ugly draw in the last game, the visitors must issue a responsive victory in North London.
Prediction: Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool
