Preview: Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool – prediction, team news, line-ups

Tottenham Hotspur will return to action on Saturday evening when they host Liverpool in a blockbuster Premier League clash. 

The blue half of North London is a happy place at the moment, with Ange Postecoglou at the helm of affairs. 

The Australian boss has completely changed the mood at the club within just a few months of his appointment. 

Spurs are playing an attractive brand of football, and the results so far have been outstanding. 

After picking up four wins from their first five league outings, Postecoglou faced his biggest test last Sunday when he took his side to Arsenal. 

The Lilywhites were brilliant at the Emirates Stadium as they held their derby rivals to a 2-2 draw. 

Cristian Romero’s own-goal handed Arsenal the lead but Son Heung-min restored parity before the half-time. 

The South Korean stepped up to net the equaliser once again after Bukayo Saka converted a penalty in the 54th-minute. 

Tottenham now face another big match against Liverpool, who have also been unbeaten in the Premier League so far. 

The Reds started off their new campaign with a 1-1 draw at Chelsea but then went on to claim wins over Bournemouth, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and West Ham United. 

The Merseyside giants will enter Saturday’s fixture on the back of a 3-1 success over Leicester City in the EFL Cup. 

After conceding an early goal, the hosts made a thrilling comeback with Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Diogo Jota all on target for them. 

Jurgen Klopp made some big changes to his squad in the summer after a disappointing 2022-23 season that saw them finishing outside the top-four. 

Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberg all arrived in the previous window as part of their midfield overhaul. 

And the signings look to have worked out brilliantly for the Merseyside outfit who have made an impressive start to the new season. 

Team News 

The Lilywhites’ point against the Gunners last week came at a cost as Brennan Johnson picked up a knock in the North London derby. His availability is doubtful on Saturday in latest Tottenham news. 

Ange Postecoglou will also be missing the services of Ivan Perisic, Giovani Lo Celso, Alfie Whiteman, Rodrigo Bentancur, Bryan Gil and Ryan Sessegnon due to injury issues. 

As for Liverpool, Thiago Alcantara will not be available for the upcoming match, with the midfielder not expected to be back for another few weeks.
