Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Liverpool in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool
As it stands, Liverpool move up to eighth, ahead of Fulham on goal-difference. With Manchester United's loss earlier in the day, Spurs' spot in fourth remains unchanged.

Liverpool came out of the gates quickly, with Nunez getting a handful of chances against Spurs' backline. He ended up assisting Salah's first goal, a calm volley from the middle of the box. Tottenham almost responded right away, with a Perisic shot awkwardly hitting Alisson before smashing against the bar. The visitors' second came five minutes before the break with Dier mistakenly heading the ball straight into the path of Salah, who raised above Lloris and into the back of the net.

Elliott hits one from distance, and it's a good, low save from Lloris. It was an extremely powerful shot, as you can hear the sound it makes as it hits the keeper's gloves.

The goal is an absolute gift from Dier, which is a shame from him as Spurs were doing well on the ball. A much bigger mountain to climb now as half-time approaches.
