[ad_1]

Anfield is the venue for a key Premier League clash under the lights this evening.

It’s goalless at the break, after an absorbing 45 minutes. Both sides hit the woodwork – Virgil van Dijk’s header flicking off the top of the bar and Pierre-Emile Hobjerg then seeing his shot from a distance rattle off the post.

Both Liverpool and Tottenham are hunting for victory as they look to achieve their respective goals during a busy top-flight run-in.

Another win for the Reds on Merseyside would see them leapfrog Manchester City once again by two points at the summit, piling the pressure on Pep Guardiola and Co ahead of their meeting with Newcastle tomorrow.

Liverpool have lost only one of their last 18 matches against Tottenham, who ended a run of seven straight losses against them in a 2-2 draw in December and have not triumphed on this ground since 2011.

But Antonio Conte’s Spurs will be desperate to end that hoodoo this evening and go above Arsenal in the fierce battle for fourth place, with their resurgent north London rivals hosting struggling Leeds at the Emirates on Sunday.

That’s a cruel way for Spurs to concede, with Diaz’s shot taking a wicked deflection off Bentancur on the way in. That said, the goal came from a throw-in which was allowed to go all the way to Mane on the edge of the area.

LIVERPOOL ARE LEVEL!

Anfield erupts! It’s Luis Diaz, with the help of a massive deflection.

Shifts inside onto his right foot, Bentancur sticks a foot out and it’s off the Spurs player and into the corner. Lloris can do nothing.

73 mins: SENSATIONAL BLOCK!

The defending has just been so good from Spurs. Salah works the space on his left foot inside the box… that usually means one thing.

On this occasion, it means Davies comes flying in to block.

Mature display from Spurs so far – huge 20 minutes coming up though.

70 mins: Sessegnon swiftly joins him in the book, as he drags Salah back as the Liverpool forward tried to break free.

Klopp is going all out attack with the introduction of Jota for Henderson. Spurs are going to face a barrage for 25 minutes but there will be even more space for them on the counter-attack. Next goal wins?

64 mins: Corners coming thick and fast for Liverpool, this time Romero putting a cross from Henderson behind.

Falls for Diaz… wonderful block from Davies. And now Romero hacks it away. Defending for their lives back there.
