Tottenham's hopes for a top four finish hang in the balance and now have a tough trip to Anfield to face a Liverpool side looking to achieve the elusive quadruple. Spurs' record at Liverpool is not great and have not picked up three points there in 11 years.
Spurs are priced at 11/2 with Betfred while the Reds are the favourites at 4/9 this weekend while a draw is 11/2. On the last 11 occasions that Tottenham have scored in the first half of a league game, they have also gone on to score again in the second.
Things have not been smooth-sailing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium of late despite returning to winning ways with a 3-1 against Leicester City. Antonio Conte's future is in doubt after the Italian is rumoured to be interested in the PSG job with former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino look set to leave Paris at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, Liverpool's hopes for a quadruple finish are still alive after finishing off Villarreal 5-2 on aggregate to secure a place in the Champions League final this season. They already have the League Cup but now the Reds have a place in both the FA Cup and Champions League finals while battling in a title race against Manchester City.

Players to watch
Harry Kane has been relatively quiet lately and given his record against Liverpool - especially at Anfield - it seems like the perfect opportunity for him to maintain his goalscoring form. The England captain went five league matches without a goal before finding the net in Spurs' 3-1 against Leicester City last weekend and will look to add to his tally of five goals at Anfield in seven trips.
While Mo Salah just has not managed to return to goalscoring ways despite an impressive performance against Manchester United a few weeks back, I am going to have to shift my backing to Sadio Mane. The Senegalese winger has had an incredible season for the Reads with 20 goals in all competitions including 14 in the Premier League and will be keen to add to his tally after finding the net in their win against Villarreal on Tuesday night.
