Premier League: Live Score: Match preview, Tottenham Hotspurs VS Liverpool: Prediction, Probable lineup, Head-to-head, Key stats

Despite a streak of uninspiring performances, Antonio Conte's team has often found a way to win games. Currently, it sits third in the rankings, ten points ahead of Liverpool, despite having played one more game.

They are riding high after clinching their Champions League group with a last-gasp victory over Marseille on Tuesday, but Heung-min Son suffered an eye socket fracture.

Liverpool also triumphed in midweek, but it was not enough for them to finish first in their group. They are now focused on salvaging as much as possible from the first part of the season.

Liverpool has struggled domestically this season and is tenth in the Premier League standings. The Merseyside giants defeated Napoli by 2-0 in their previous match and will aim for a similar outcome this weekend.

Jurgen Klopp will demand a robust response from his players, but it remains to be seen if they can deliver.

As for head-to-head stats, Liverpool leads the tally with 87 wins, while Tottenham has managed 48. At the same time, 44 games have been drawn.

• Tottenham has surrendered at least two goals in their previous three Premier League encounters.

Tottenham Hotspurs Team News

The home team will not have standout defender Cristian Romero available. Son Heung-Min and Richarlison are both injured and cannot play.

Cristian Romero has missed his team's last two matches due to a muscle strain and may not be risked with the World Cup beginning precisely two weeks after this match, with Eric Dier possibly filling in as a right-sided central defender once again to allow Clement Lenglet and Ben Davies to complete Antonio Conte's back three.

Lucas Moura will likely attack alongside Harry Kane. Dejan Kulusevski has returned to training, but his lack of match fitness may prevent him from starting here.

Predicted lineup: Lloris, Perisic; Moura, Kane, Dier, Lenglet, Davies, Emerson, Bissouma, Bentancur, and Hojbjerg.

Liverpool Team News

The visiting team has suffered several injuries. The team will be short-handed without Joel Matip, Arthur Melo, Luis Diaz, and Diogo Jota. Naby Keita has resumed training but is not yet ready to play. As he has yet to play a game this season, the Guinean is poorly prepared for competition.

Jordan Henderson is healthy and available, Jurgen Klopp has said. Darwin Nunez scored in the Champions League after coming off the bench, and he'll hope that this cameo is enough to get him a spot in the starting lineup.

Predicted lineup: Alisson, Thiago; Salah, Firmi, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, and Fabinho.

Liverpool VS Tottenham Hotspurs prediction

On Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Liverpool is expected to continue their season-long trend of showing up against the league's elite.

As a result of the absence of Heung-min Son, this is an excellent opportunity for Liverpool to gain ground on their top-four opponents.

Final prediction: Spurs 1-2 Liverpool
