Tottenham host Liverpool in the final Premier League fixtures before Christmas. The two sides clash in Sunday’s late kick off at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium with both in search of three points.
Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs have come under pressure in recent weeks with the manager being accused of stubbornly sticking to the same gameplan when things are going wrong. Defeats to Bournemouth and Chelsea sent Tottenham into the bottom half of the table before a confidence-building 5-0 victory over Southampton, and a 4-3 Carabao Cup win against Man Utd, gave the team some momentum.
Liverpool meanwhile continue to impress under Arne Slot though there have been a couple of stumbles. Back-to-back draws against Newcastle and Fulham have allowed their rivals to close the gap in the league table and Slot will want his team to get back to winning ways with a strong performance in London today.

HT: Tottenham 1-3 Liverpool
HALF-TIME! Tottenham 1-3 Liverpool
The referee brings the half to an end and it’s another dominant Liverpool performance, with the away side heading into the break with a two-goal cushion.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-3 Liverpool
GOAL! The lead is back to two!
That could be that. Szoboszlai heads on the ball forward and Salah latches onto it before surging towards the box and playing a reverse pass to the overlapping Hungarian. He’s one-v-one and he takes the shot early, slipping it past Forster for 3-1.
Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool
There’ll be minutes of added time here. You get the feeling both sides would take this at this point, ahead of a reset at the break.
Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool
Diaz is briefly clean through before seeing his shot blocked, but he was offside anyway.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool
GOAL! Spurs have one back!
Kulusevski takes the ball off Mac Allister near the edge of the box and Maddison picks it up, using van Dijk’s body to bend it around the defender and out of range of Alisson.
Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool
Groans around the stadium as Son is offside once more when Spurs were in a promising position. A good line from the Liverpool defence though.
GOAL! Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool
GOAL! The lead is two.
Liverpool recycle possession before Gomez’s ball to Szoboszlai breaks the lines. He sweeps it wide to the left, where Gakpo lays it off to Robertson. The Scot dinks in a cushioned cross that loops up off Szoboszlai and Spence, and Mac Allister is running in to nod the ball into the back of the net.
