It’s just two weeks before the end of the year. And Premier League teams will still play four games (some, five games) before the end of the year.
One of such teams is Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham. Topping the table and still involved in the EFL Cup, Spurs have a lot of football to play. Before their cup duties, Harry Kane and co travel to Anfield to face Liverpool.
This clash is special for a number of reasons:
- Both sides are tied at the top of the table with 25 points
- Both sides have identical league records so far: 7 Wins, 4 Draws, 1 Loss
- Liverpool is the highest scoring side in the league, 27 goals
- Tottenham have the best defense in the league, conceding just 10 goals

Arguably the biggest game of Round 13, it’s a game between the title holders and the title challengers. May still be early days in the league however, games like this count at the end of the season. That’s why this one is a must-win game for both sides.
For Jurgen Klopp’s men, it’s the perfect time to leverage on their Anfield record and get the better of Tottenham. Since 2013, the Reds have not lost at home to Tottenham in the Premier League. Only twice did they drop points in this run of eight games.
