Liverpool vs Tottenham LIVE updates: Express Sport brings you the latest Premier League news from Anfield
TWITTER ROUND-UP
Pete: Huge game today. Need to avenge that Wembley battering and distance ourselves from fifth place. Come on Liverpool!
Mark: Strong line up with an industrious midfield. I wonder what the thinking behind going with Trent Alexander-Arnold over Joe Gomez. Maybe thinking about the counter opportunities?
Ally: Got a feeling Tottenham might go away with the three points today. Tails will be up after beating Manchester United.
ANFIELD WOES
16:23: It is seven years since Tottenham last won away at Liverpool, who have emerged victorious from five of the last seven meetings on their home turf.
Spurs' problems at Anfield are not a one-off.
While strong at home against the top sides, they have struggled away, winning only one out of 18 games on their travels against the top six under Mauricio Pochettino.
It suggests a team that has been either tactically naive or mentally fragile but there are signs of progress this season.
They took four points from trips to Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. Now they need to do it domestically.

GOOD AFTERNOON
16:15: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League.
Liverpool host Tottenham at Anfield in what could prove to be a pivotal match in the race for the Premier League top four.
A few weeks ago, Spurs appeared to have left themselves a mountain to climb to seal Champions League qualification but after Wednesday's impressive win over Manchester United, they are right back in contention.
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are in form, the only side to have taken more points from their last six league games than Spurs.
What does that mean? It means that this is going to be an effing cracker!
LIVERPOOL vs TOTTENHAM - PREVIEW
Centre-back Virgil van Dijk is set to start for Liverpool after being rested for the win at Huddersfield.
Midfielder Adam Lallana has returned to training after a recurrence of a thigh problem but is unlikely to be ready for this game, while defender Nathaniel Clyne - who has not featured this season because of a back injury - is close to returning to training.
Lucas Moura is unlikely to make his Spurs debut - he needs to improve his fitness after joining from Paris St Germain. Serge Aurier and Harry Winks are both in contention having recovered from ankle and calf injuries respectively, while Toby Alderweireld and Danny Rose are also back in training and could return.
