Jurgen Klopp’s men will look to get back on track in the Premier League against Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs side after last week’s disappointing defeat to Burnley.
They travel to White Hart Lane knowing that another slip-up means more ground lost on league rivals, despite it being early on in the season.
Although he is back in training, Loris Karius isn’t expected to return for a couple of weeks whilst key players Emre Can (ankle) Divock Origi (muscle cramps) and Phillipe Coutinho (hamstring) all look set to miss out.
On the bright side, danger man Sadio Mane is back for Liverpool and looked just as sharp against Burton Albion as he did before his injury against Arsenal.
This game last season was Klopp’s first in charge of Liverpool and we should expect another close game between the two sides with neither team obviously wanting to drop points to a rival.
Whilst it is early days in the league, a win for Liverpool would see them leapfrog Spurs, but a win for Tottenham and Liverpool will already find themselves four points behind the Lilywhites.
Here is my predicted starting XI for the game:
