Liverpool hosts Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday, as both teams look to bounce back from disappointing European performances earlier this week.
The Reds return to Merseyside after a narrow 1–0 loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League, marking their second defeat in three games across all competitions. Despite this setback, they have secured four wins in their last six matches and remain strong at home.
Currently sixth in the league, Liverpool is just two points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa, making this match crucial for their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
Tottenham arrives at Anfield in a tough situation, having suffered a heavy 5–2 loss to Atletico Madrid on Tuesday. This defeat marked the fourth straight loss for new manager Igor Tudor, making it the first time in the club’s history that they have lost six consecutive matches across all competitions.
Spurs have not won a league match since early December and now sit 16th in the standings, only one point clear of the relegation zone. Tudor faces mounting pressure as he tries to establish a solid defense ahead of the challenging environment at Anfield.

Liverpool
The Reds are hopeful that goalkeeper Alisson Becker will return after missing the Galatasaray match due to a minor muscle issue. Federico Chiesa is also set to return after illness. However, they remain without long-term absentees Alexander Isak, Stefan Bajcetic, and Wataru Endo. Young player Rio Ngumoha may start as the coach manages his playing time.
Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs are facing a significant defensive crisis, missing Micky van de Ven (suspension) and Cristian Romero (concussion protocol). They join an injury list that includes James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Destiny Udogie. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is expected to return, while Conor Gallagher is likely to play despite being unwell.
