Liverpool continue their top-four push against relegation-battling Tottenham Hotspur in a huge Premier League showdown.
Victory would lift Liverpool as high as fourth in the table, whilst Tottenham can climb into 15th with a win if Leeds lose at Crystal Palace in the mid-afternoon kick-offs.
Team News
Federico Chiesa is set to return for Liverpool after he missed their 1-0 first-leg defeat at Galatasaray in the Round of 16 stage in Champions League.
Alisson (knock) faces a late fitness test but Wataru Endo (ankle), Alex Isak (leg), Conor Bradley (knee) and Giovanni Leoni (ACL) remain absent.
Tottenham will be without Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha due to concussion protocols following their 5-2 first-leg loss at Atletico Madrid in their Round of 16 tie in the Champions League.
Conor Gallagher (illness) is a doubt but Yves Bissouma is ruled out due to a muscle injury.
Mickey van de Ven is suspended after he was sent off in Tottenham’s last league outing, which saw them lose 3-1 at home to Crystal Palace.
Destiny Udogie, Rodrigo Bentancur (both hamstring), Lucas Bergvall, Ben Davies (both ankle), Mohammed Kudus (quad), James Maddison, Wilson Odobert (both ACL) and Dejan Kulusevski (knee) are still ruled out.

Stat Attack
- Liverpool have lost one of their last 16 league meetings against Tottenham (W12, D3, L1).
- Tottenham are winless in their last 14 league visits to Liverpool at Anfield (D4, L10).
- Mohamed Salah has scored in each of Liverpool’s last three league matches at home to Tottenham (W3).
- Liverpool have lost just one of their five top-flight games at home in 2026 (W2, D2, L1).
- Tottenham are yet to record a victory in 2026 across all domestic competitions (D4, L8).
Prediction
Coming into this match off a narrow defeat at Galatasaray where they weren’t clinical enough despite their defensive fight after a slow start, Liverpool just need to stay composed and show more polish in their finishing touches if want to win here especially with a top-four spot at stake.
As for Tottenham, well the barrel can’t stoop any deeper because their defending against Atletico Madrid was just awful but they did at least show some attacking fight even when the game was dead, but Igor Tudor is just untenable given his emotionless handling of Antonin Kinsky’s substitution.
Add in speculation over Tudor’s future on top of more players ruled out including Van de Ven and Romero who are massive losses, this does feel like it will be another painful display and one which surely has to bring his interim tenure to a premature end for the sake of every football fan.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Tottenham
Result: Liverpool 1-1 Tottenham
