Would really like us to do a number on Spurs as I dont want them to win the league...

Madathon stopped!:p

Should be a good match, live on Sky Sports 2 at 5.30.

+1 on stopping spurs, I would really love Leicester to win the league this year. It would be give great hope to underdogs like us and manU to see Leicester win it:pac:

Harry Palmr

Horrid game - Liverpool transfer reject Deli Alli to score a hat-trick.

cj maxx

Yep , could be a cracker 3-1 home win

Dirty Dingus McGee

I'd put the mortgage on Liverpool winning.Spurs are just going to flop at some stage (hope I'm wrong though).

Lucas is still out and Firmino is likely to miss this.

If there's one game this season where Liverpool were to beat a team into absolute submission, and humiliate them so badly half the backroom staff resign and their season falls apart at the seams, then this is it.

Go away, Spurs. I don't like you.



Good thing there are so few Spurs fans about the SF as otherwise I wouldn't be show my face for weeks after the inevitable 5-1 away win.

Last man back, Mig as DM.

Beat them that way :pac:

Bar this seasons first fixture these games have been absolute belters for the last 3 seasons with Liverpool definitely enjoying them more than Spurs. Hopefully another good game today with Liverpool taking the spoils.

Friendlies over?



Let's just hope Spurs aren't that chandelier.

I'd be delighted if Liverpool (win and) do their bit to assist Leicester in winning the title.

So this is the Liverpool stream of the match thread, with Utd fans popping in if we are playing poorly.
And that's the Spurs stream of the thread.
Ridiculous situation.

I can't see us losing this.
We are in great form and will want to put right that second half performance in last game.

I'd be more confident if we had Firmino playing, but it'll be interesting to see what way Klopp goes for this game. I'd imagine since there are 4 clear days between this game and Dortmund away he will go for as strong a side as possible tonight. Be interesting to see if he plays Origi and Sturridge again with Coutinho and Lallana also. I reckon not though and one of Origi and Sturridge will start on the bench.

Mignolet
Sakho
Lovren
Clyne
Moreno
Can
Milner
Henderson
Lallana
Coutinho
Sturridge

I reckon this will be the starting XI.

Football for me, like religion for some, is the place to get the unbridled illogical passion, belief, fear, love and hate out of my system.

It's what I love so much about it all.

I think it's more the similarities between Spurs and Liverpool and their position/aims in recent times. See them as LFC's most direct rivals competitively. Would feel the same about Southampton or Accrington Stanley were they in Spurs' place instead.



PS I still dislike Arsenal more :cool:

Bit audacious playing without a goalie and having Mignolet as DM. Can't be any worse there than in goals though I suppose.

Prefer Ojo to Ibe at the moment but otherwise about as strong as can be expected.

I can't wait to see Coutinho play once again. What a magician and better than Ozil.

Come on spurs.

Come on Liverpool.

Has there ever been 4 X 4-0s in a day before? I'm going 4-0. Also, does Harry Kane wear eyeliner? I'm going yes.
