Liverpool will have their Premier League title credentials examined this weekend when they travel to North London to take on Tottenham.
Arne Slot has enjoyed a smooth start to life at Anfield, but cracks are beginning to show after being held to draws in each of their last two matches.
However, the Reds showed excellent character to battle back to earn a home point against Fulham last weekend, despite being down to ten men.
As a neutral, Tottenham have been one of the most difficult teams to examine this term, as they have been as equally brilliant as they have been underwhelming.
But, Spurs do come into this round after a healthy 5-0 win on the road at the hapless Southampton last weekend.

Over that period, Liverpool have recorded nine wins, with three draws being played out.

Tottenham vs. Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool’s form has dipped in recent weeks, but a red card could be to blame for their dropped points against Fulham last Saturday.
Tottenham have shown their quality against top sides already this term, but the sheer number of defensive injuries this weekend does raise questions. For that reason, the Reds look hard to oppose.
