16.30, Anfield.
Goals, goals, goals! This could be one of the games of the season.
My prediction: 2 - 3. SAM thinks 1-nil? Pfft.

Thirsting for revenge, Liverpool were thoroughly humiliated by Tottenham in the reverse fixture, falling to a 4-1 defeat at Wembley back on October 23. It was Tottenham’s first win over Liverpool since November 2012, and the biggest winning margin against the Reds since September 2011.
Curiously, this is the ninth consecutive year that Liverpool have hosted the second league meeting between the sides, and it is something that has clearly suited Liverpool.
Liverpool may be roughly level with Tottenham in terms of attacking lethality, but the Reds will have a dominant record over the Londoners for generations, with an all-time record of: W80, D41, L48.
It will be difficult for Tottenham to complete the double. May 2011 was the last occasion Tottenham did just that, by taking all three points from Anfield. That win is also the only one for Tottenham at Anfield this century, and the only win in the club’s last twenty visits.
Five out of the last six Anfield meetings between the two sides have seen Liverpool score 2+ goals against Tottenham.
Stat attack: Expect an absolute show-stopper. The two sides have scored first in a combined total of thirteen games from a possible sixteen. By extension, a combined total of nine games in twelve have seen the sides involved in matches where both teams have scored.
Tottenham are without a clean sheet against Liverpool in their last five games.
