Liverpool vs Tottenham prediction and odds: Sadio Mane tipped to send Reds top of Premier League table

Liverpool can go top of the league for a day at least with a win at Anfield over a Tottenham Hotspur who are in a dogfight for Champions League football in the Premier League. The Reds find themselves just one point behind league leaders Manchester City - who play Newcastle United at home on Sunday.

The Reds are the favourites ahead of this league clash at 4/9 with Betfred while Spurs are 11/2 and a draw is 19/5. The hosts have an incredible record over Tottenham at Anfield with 18 wins and eight draws in their last 27 Premier League home meetings.

Klopp's quest to lift the league title continues and after securing a place in the Champions League final for a fourth time in his career - third as Reds boss - the quest for the quadruple is still a real possibility. Lifting the League Cup earlier this season plus FA Cup final next week as well as the possibility of revenge against Real Madrid for Europe's top prize.

For Spurs, they will be looking to keep their fight up to secure Champions League football despite lingering doubts Antonio Conte will be at the helm next season. The Italian boss has done nothing but wonders at the club and despite a few disappointing performances still they find themselves in fifth-place behind arch-rivals Arsenal who only have a two-point advantage over them which promises to provide an exciting climax in the top four race.

Player to watch

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.
