Liverpool travels to North London on Saturday to play Tottenham. The champions are in good form, unbeaten in their last five games, while Spurs are struggling and need a win at home before Christmas. Tottenham’s recent run fell apart at Nottingham Forest, losing 3-0. It was their third league loss in 5 games. They sit in the bottom half of the table, 6 points off the top 4, and another home defeat would be their 11th of the year at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Liverpool are calmer on the pitch. Mohamed Salah came off the bench to assist in a 2-0 win over Brighton, setting a club record for Premier League goal contributions before leaving for AFCON.
