Liverpool host Tottenham at Anfield this weekend and Jurgen Klopp’s side could make a significant impact on the title race this season.
Spurs are trailing Leicester City by five points and with just seven matches remaining, another loss could be damaging for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
The Londoners haven’t been particularly impressive at Anfield over the last few seasons and that needs to change if they want to lift the Premier League trophy come the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will be itching to bounce back after a humiliating defeat against Southampton last time out. They will be hoping to build on their great run against Spurs this weekend.
Despite the loss in their last game, Liverpool have been in superb form and will want to get closer to the top four places with a victory in front of the home fans.
