Tottenham are looking to extend their ten-game unbeaten streak in all competitions when they face Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Spurs didn't have much luck against Liverpool last season, they got beaten 2-0 at Anfield Road in the Premier League and 2-1 in the League Cup, while at White Hart Lane they only managed to get a 1-1 draw. In fact, Tottenham have not tasted victory against Liverpool in a long time, their last win against the Reds was in 2012 and they played against them ten times since then.
Tottenham have not lost a game since the 2-1 defeat at home against Chelsea in August, that's ten matches without defeat in all competitions. They have secured three consecutive Premier League victories, even though last weekend they squeezed past Bournemouth 1-0. This week they pulled off a great result in the Champions League, 1-1 at Real Madrid, that has surely boosted their confidence. Erik Lamela remains sidelined, but Ben Davies, Victor Wanyama and Mousa Dembele could return to action along with Danny Rose.
Liverpool ended a frustrating streak of three consecutive draws in all competitions with a commanding 7-0 Champions League victory over Maribor this week, while last weekend they recorded a goalless draw in the North-West Derby against Manchester United. They could have won that match, they dominated most of it, but sometimes their choices in front of goal were not the best ones. Adam Lallana, Adam Bogdan, Nathaniel Clyne and Sadio Mane remain injured and won't be available for Sunday's match.
Probable line-ups:
Tottenham: Lloris - Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen - Trippier, Dier, Winks, Rose - Eriksen, Alli - Kane
Liverpool: Mignolet - Gomez, Matip, Lovren, Moreno - Can, Henderson, Wijnaldum - Salah, Firmino, Coutinho
My prediction: 1-1 draw.
