Tottenham and Liverpool will feel they have had underwhelming seasons so far as they prepare to meet in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening. Spurs are in the bottom half of the table heading into this weekend's pre-Christmas fixtures, while Liverpool are 10 points off the pace in terms of the title race.
Nonetheless, a win for either side could do wonders in terms of potentially turning a corner heading into the New Year. We are expecting an exciting affair between two of the league's traditional ‘big six'.

Tottenham preview: Couple of players off to AFCON
Midfielders Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are heading to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and so will play no part. James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke are still among the injury absentees for Tottenham.
Predicted lineup: Vicario (GK); Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Spence; Bentancur, Palhinha; Kudus, Simons, Richarlison & Kolo Muani
Last five results:
- Nottingham Forest 3-0 Tottenham
- Tottenham 3-0 Slavia Prague
- Tottenham 2-0 Brentford
- Newcastle 2-2 Tottenham
- Tottenham 1-2 Fulham
Liverpool preview: Salah the headline absentee
Mohamed Salah is also at AFCON with Egypt and so is expected to miss out for Liverpool. Jeremie Frimpong and Joe Gomez remain injury doubts.
Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK); Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Jones; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Wirtz & Ekitike
Last five results:
- Liverpool 2-0 Brighton
- Inter Milan 0-1 Liverpool
- Leeds 3-3 Liverpool
- Liverpool 1-1 Sunderland
- West Ham 0-2 Liverpool
Player to watch: Hugo Ekitike
After scoring a brace in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Brighton at Anfield last time out, Hugo Ekitike should be given another chance from the start here. He also netted twice in the Reds' last away league match, a 3-3 draw at Leeds, and will pose a big danger to Tottenham.
