Tottenham Hotspur travel to Anfield on Tuesday evening as the race for the Champions League places heats up.

For viewers in the United States, the match will be shown live on NBCSN and NBC Sports Live Extra at 3pm ET/Noon PT.

The Lilywhites are in fifth position, just a point behind fourth placed Manchester United and four ahead of today’s opponents Liverpool who are seventh.

Confidence will be high for Mauricio Pochettino’s men after a second half brace from Harry Kane secured victory over bitter rivals Arsenal on Saturday.

Liverpool on the other hand, played out a goalless draw away to Everton but are the league’s in-form team with 14 points from the last six matches.

Both sides will be looking to win so we can reasonably expect an absolute cracker of a match with so much on the line.

Team News

Pochettino has no fresh injury concerns for this match and will likely stick with most of the starting XI that convincingly beat Arsenal at home.

Man of the moment Harry Kane will be the focal point of Tottenham’s attack while Christian Eriksen, Moussa Dembele and Nacer Chadli providing support from midfield.

Nabil Bentaleb was excellent in their last match and should retain his place alongside Ryan Mason. Expect no major change in defense and Hugo Lloris in goal.

For the home side, Raheem Sterling, Jon Flanagan, Brad Jones and Lucas Leiva are out of this one while Steven Gerrard should be rested after playing the full duration away to Bolton and Everton. There are also concerns regarding the fitness of Lallana but he should be fit enough to play.

Brendan Rodgers will likely stick to his 3-4-2-1 formation so you can expect an unchanged back three while Daniel Sturridge will lead the Reds’ attack.
