The surge for a top four spot for Liverpool continues as the travel to White Hart Lane to take on Tottenham Hotspurs placed third in the league on March 10, 2013 at 1600 GMT.
Liverpool has started combining well under Brendan Rodgers and will be looking to put together a string of victories to push them into a top four spot. Chelsea is in fourth spot ten points ahead of Liverpool.
Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have understood each other game play very well and together pose a threat to any defence. Liverpool’s last six Premier League victories have seen them score 24 goals without conceding a single goal.
Statistics also tell us that Liverpool have not been able to win three premier league games on the trot a jinx they will have to break if they want to push to climb the table.
The Liverpool squad has no new injury concerns while Tottenham will miss Sandro and Tom Huddlestone both out due to bust a knee.
Lewis Holtby who was used as a substitute I the Europa League clash against Inter will probably be given a starting berth in this game.
This game could be a high scoring game with Suarez the league’s top scorer and Gareth Bale the league’s third highest goal scorer playing and both of them in fine form.
Since 2010 the Reds have not been able to come out with a positive result against the Spurs, another jinx.
This game promises to be an open game as both the teams are full of speedsters and hence a draw would be an apt result to go with.
Expected Line-ups: Liverpool: Pepe Reina, Glenn Johnson, Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger, José Enrique, Lucas Leiva, Steven Gerrard, Luis Suárez, Philippe Coutinho, Stewart Downing, Daniel Sturridge
Tottenham: Hugo Lloris, Kyle Walker, Michael Dawson, Jan Vertonghen, Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Aaron Lennon, Mousa Dembélé, Scott Parker, Lewis Holtby , Gareth Bale
