Head-to-head
Liverpool have lost just one of the past 15 Premier League meetings (W10, D4). Their four most recent victories in this fixture have all come by a single goal.
Tottenham's only victory at Anfield in their last 26 Premier League visits came in May 2011.
Spurs could lose six consecutive matches in all competitions against Liverpool for the first time.
Liverpool
Liverpool have dropped 11 points in the Premier League this season, just four fewer than in the entirety of 2019-20. It took them 35 matches to drop 11 points last season.
They have lost four league fixtures in 2020, the same amount as in 2018 and 2019 combined.
However, the Reds have won all six home league games this season by an aggregate score of 18-6. They've scored at least twice in each fixture.
They are unbeaten in 65 Premier League home matches since a 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace in April 2017 (W54, D11).
Liverpool have won 10 successive Premier League home fixtures against established top-six teams.
They are the only club to have scored in all of their Premier League matches this season.
Sadio Mane has failed to score in seven successive Premier League appearances, his longest run without a goal for Liverpool.
Liverpool have been successful with their last 18 Premier League penalties, the most successful sequence since Sunderland scored 23 consecutive spot-kicks between March 2012 and January 2017.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham have won seven league games and drawn four since losing their opening match of the season against Everton.
They are unbeaten in all six Premier League away fixtures this season, winning four and drawing two.
Tottenham have claimed 70 points under Jose Mourinho - only Manchester City (75) and Liverpool (90) have better records since he joined Spurs.
However, Mourinho has never won away against Jurgen Klopp in five attempts in all competitions (D2, L3), his longest run without an away win against any manager.
The goal they let in at Crystal Palace last weekend ended a run of 475 minutes without conceding.
Harry Kane and Son Heung-min have combined for 12 goals this season, just one short of Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton's Premier League record, set in 1994-95.
Son (10) and Kane (9) have scored 19 of Tottenham's 24 Premier League goals this season.
Kane has scored in four games at Anfield but has never ended on the winning side, drawing two and losing two.

I honestly can´t see us keeping a clean sheet. I am pessimistic on best of days but now without any cb i can´t see a reason to be optimistic.

Yeah, Kane & Son running at a make shift defense does not inspire confidence, hopefully Matip is back and 100%. I think Mourinho will come not to lose and keep it tight, can't see it being a high scoring open game, could turn into abit of a stalemate, like the Manc derby with both teams settling for a draw.

Mourinho will come and play counter attack I agree, he will play counter attack, but will not over commit. Will be similar to Chelsea in 2014, hopefully we will play better than against Fulham.

We need Hendo to take care of Kane. Nothing silly... just don't give him time on the ball.

I think it will be a draw, which would of been a good result had we won the Fulham game but now we would just stay behind them on gd. I can't see us winning with the injuries and fatigue unfortunately.

Sounds messed up after last season but I think I'd take a draw. If we can stay joint first with all these injuries, we have a great chance once a few clear up. At the moment though it just seems to be one after another.
Tough December for Spurs and Chelsea and they've dropped points already. Crazy season. Looks like a race to 80 points..

I think we can do better than a draw but if so not the end of the world. As others have said we need to stay up there until the army of injured players get back in the new year

Looks like Matip maybe out, wonder who will play CB? I like Philipps but I think Son & Kane are much faster so will pull him out of position and run behind, maybe Williams & Fab?
