Liverpool FC at Tottenham Hotspur is no doubt the headliner fixture in the Premier League this weekend. It’s a matchup of league title contenders between two of the British top flight’s proverbial big six.
The Reds come in to Wembley Stadium in 8th place, and just a mere +1 in goal differential on the season. They have achieved 13 points from their first eight matches, four less than Tottenham’s 17, which is enough to put them third in the current table.
