Tottenham travel to league leaders Liverpool on Sunday, looking to set aside a poor start to the Premier League season.
Spurs have managed just three wins so far and drew last time out at Watford, but have managed a draw against Manchester City away from home already and still have a talented squad to call upon.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have only failed to win in the Premier League once this season and will look to continue their imperious form on Sunday.
Their last match ended in a disappointing draw at Old Trafford, where they were unable to use their full-backs to such good effect, but coach Jurgen Klopp will surely be looking at ways to counteract Spurs pressing style
Liverpool are still without winger Xherdan Shaqiri, who is suffering from a calf injury, but should be able to welcome back star forward Mo Salah.
Salah missed last weekend’s draw with Manchester United and will be looking to add to his four Premier League goals so far this season.
Spurs’ goalkeeper Hugo Lloris looks set to miss the remainder of 2019 after suffering a painful-looking elbow injury in their last away match at Brighton.
Their only other injury worry is left-back Ryan Sessegnon, who is still out with a hamstring problem.
Liverpool have been in sensational form so far this season, but finally showed signs of weakness during their 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Sunday.
Without Salah, Liverpool aren’t quite the same attacking force and it will be a relief for Klopp that he can call on the Egyptian once again.
Spurs will have taken some comfort from their 5-0 drubbing of Crvena Zvezda in the Champions League on Tuesday, but are yet to hit their stride in the league.
They were fortunate to come away with a draw against Watford and a defeat at Anfield will pile further pressure on coach Mauricio Pochettino.
On Sunday, expect Spurs to come out fighting, but Liverpool are likely to be too strong and should run out 2-1 winners.
