Liverpool fans won’t forget this same fixture last season when, in the late April sunshine, the Reds thumped Tottenham 5-1 to clinch the Premier League title.
It’s a very different story this time with Arne Slot’s side in sixth and battling hard to claim a Champions League spot for 2026/27.
But if they’re looking for accommodating opponents to help them achieve that goal, step forward Spurs.
Tottenham are in freefall. They’ve lost six matches in a row for the first time in history and Igor Tudor is under pressure to keep his job, having lost all four of his games.
When it appears things can’t get any worse, Tottenham prove they can.
A series of disastrous errors in midweek led to a 5-2 thumping away to Atletico Madrid and they’ve shipped 14 goals in their last four games.
Then again, it was hardly a midweek to remember for Liverpool either. They lost their Champions League last-16 first-leg tie 1-0 away to Galatasaray.

Federico Chiesa missed the trip to Galatasaray but could be back following an illness to give the Reds another attacking option from the bench.
Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni are out for the rest of the campaign, while Alexander Isak continues his rehabilitation following a fractured fibula and ankle problem sustained in the reverse fixture against Tottenham in December.
Liverpool expected line-up
(4-2-3-1) Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitike.
Tottenham team news
Spurs have suffered with injuries all season and Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert, Lucas Bergvall, Ben Davies, Destiny Udogie and Rodrigo Bentancur all remain sidelined.
To make matters worse, defender Micky van de Ven is suspended due to his red card in the 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Tudor will also be without both Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha after they clashed heads in the heavy defeat to Atletico.
Yves Bissouma has been ruled out with a muscle injury and Conor Gallagher is a doubt as he battles a fever, although the January signing is likely to feature.
Tudor confirmed that Guglielmo Vicario will replace Antonin Kinsky in between the sticks after the latter made two mistakes against Atletico.
Tottenham expected line-up
(4-2-3-1) Vicario; Porro, Danso, Dragusin; Spence, Gallagher, Sarr; Kolo Muani, Simons, Tel; Solanke.

Liverpool v Tottenham predictions
Liverpool continue to prove hit and miss. But at least that’s better than Spurs who are miss and miss.
After suffering six straight defeats, it’s hard to see how that streak doesn’t extend to seven.
Tottenham are in a complete mess and this is where the Tudor era could end.
Liverpool are extremely short at 1/3 so the bet here could be backing Liverpool to win and both teams to score.
Despite a series of woeful results, Spurs are still managing to find the net at some point in matches. They banked two goals in Madrid and have scored in 23 of their last 26 games.
Liverpool to win and both teams to score is 17/10.
Florian Wirtz has four goals in his last nine Premier League games and could easily have bagged a couple against Galatasaray.
The classy German will certainly relish the chance to punch a hole in this woeful Spurs backline. Wirtz to score anytime and both teams to score pays 5/1 if you’re playing a Bet Builder.
