With just three games remaining, the title race is heating up, with Liverpool not only needing victories themselves but also relying on their rivals to drop points for a chance at the title. Meanwhile, Tottenham is embroiled in the battle for Champions League qualification, requiring a win to close the gap with Aston Villa.

Liverpool currently occupies the third spot in the Premier League after 35 games, tallying 22 wins, nine draws, and four losses, totaling 75 points, five points adrift of league leaders Arsenal.

Throughout the season, Liverpool has showcased their attacking prowess, netting 75 goals in 35 games, averaging 2.21 goals per game. However, defensively, they've shown some inconsistency, conceding 36 goals while managing nine clean sheets.

Tottenham sits just below Liverpool in fifth place in the Premier League standings. After 34 games, Spurs have secured 18 wins, six draws, and 10 losses, accumulating 60 points, trailing Aston Villa by seven points for the final Champions League berth.

Similar to Liverpool, Tottenham has displayed a potent attack, scoring 65 goals in 34 games, averaging 1.91 goals per game. However, defensively, they've struggled at times, conceding 54 goals and keeping only six clean sheets.

The history between Liverpool and Tottenham spans 182 encounters since their first meeting in 1909. Liverpool holds a significantly better record in this fixture, with 89 wins compared to Tottenham's 49, with 44 matches ending in draws.

In their last five meetings, Liverpool has secured two victories, with two draws and one win for Tottenham, notably the contentious 2-1 victory earlier this season. Both teams have found the net in the last seven encounters, with the last instance of only one team scoring dating back to 2020.

Liverpool will be without Joel Matip and Thiago for the remainder of the season, while Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, and Conor Bradley could return this weekend. On the other hand, Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham will miss Destiny Udogie, Fraser Forster, Ryan Sessegnon, and Manor Solomon, but Pedro Porro and Richarlison might make their return.

In their recent performances, Liverpool managed two wins, one draw, and two losses across all competitions, while Tottenham secured two wins, one draw, and three losses.

Although Liverpool have faced some setbacks recently, they are expected to secure a significant victory against Tottenham. Nevertheless, it's anticipated that both teams will find the net, with Nunez being a probable scorer for Liverpool.
