Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are set to face off in a highly anticipated Premier League showdown, where both teams will put their unbeaten streaks on the line.
The match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London on Saturday evening.
Preview:
Tottenham Hotspur head into this game after securing a hard-fought draw against bitter rivals Arsenal in their previous outing.
Under the guidance of manager Ange Postecoglou, Spurs managed to end their three-game losing streak with an impressive performance.
Son Heung-min’s brace, assisted by James Maddison, salvaged a point for Tottenham despite own goals from Cristian Romero and a penalty conceded due to Romero’s handball.
Liverpool, on the other hand, continue their winning form with a come-from-behind victory against Leicester City in the EFL Cup.
Despite conceding an early goal, the Reds turned the tide with goals from Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Diogo Jota, extending their winning run to seven games across all competitions.
With their recent form, Liverpool have climbed to second place in the Premier League table, just behind Manchester City.
