Spurs look to frustrate Reds
It’s understandable that Tottenham will have one eye on next week’s Europa League semi-final first-leg, but a heavy defeat at Anfield would be nightmare preparation for that clash.
Ange Postecoglou will be tempted to make a number of changes to make sure some of his key players are fit and available for the Bodo/Glimt test on Thursday.
Spurs have more defensive options available, with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven both starting in Monday’s defeat to Nottingham Forest. Both were replaced at half-time, with Ben Davies and Kevin Danso replacing them.
The plan is likely to try and keep Liverpool at arms-length for as long as possible, with the Reds not firing on all cylinders in recent weeks.
Slot’s men have not scored more than two goals in a match in their last six fixtures in all competitions and come into this clash off the back of a 1-0 win at Leicester last week.
Mohamed Salah has failed to score during that run of games, with the Egyptian still six ahead in the race to win the Premier League Golden Boot.
Diaz rediscovers his form
Liverpool fans will admit that Luis Diaz has not posed the threat that he has in previous seasons, but he has racked up his best goalscoring tally.
The Colombian star has found the net 11 times in the league, with two of them coming in December’s 6-3 win at Spurs.
Diaz’s form has been noticeably better since the recent international break and he has been on the scoresheet twice in the last three matches.
After bagging a second-half strike in the defeat at Fulham, Diaz then scored the opener in the home win over West Ham.
Duo rank high in the corner stats
Tottenham are currently top of the Premier League corner stats after 33 matches, while Liverpool are ranked fourth.
Spurs have had 231 corners to date, an average of seven per game, while Liverpool have averaged 6.69 per league fixture.
With the Reds roared on by a full-house, wanting to celebrate a 20th top-flight title, they will be pushing numbers forward and potentially racking up the set pieces.
