Both sides are unbeaten so far in the Premier League, with Liverpool winning five of their opening six fixtures to lead the challenge to Manchester City in the early standings. But Tottenham are only two points behind after battling back to a thrilling draw at rivals Arsenal last weekend, as James Maddison and Son Heung-min starred in the comeback.
Now Postecoglou’s side face a Liverpool team who are also reborn from last campaign with a new-look midfield. Dominik Szoboszlai’s stunning strike helped the Reds to their seventh win in a row in all competitions in midweek, and there will be talk of Klopp’s side fighting for the title should they beat Spurs for the first time this season.

50’ – Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool
Chance!
Another great save from Alisson as Son lashes a volley at him after more great work from Maddison. The corner is cleared but Spurs are starting to dominate a little now.
48’ – Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool
The first big chance of the second half falls Spurs’ way courtesy of James Maddison.
Found on the right-hand side just outside the box, he looks to curl one into the opposite corner and it’s a fantastic save from Alisson.
The resulting corner is cleared.
46’ – Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool
Gakpo does come off, and he’s replaced by Diogo Jota. Liverpool will be aware that they’re very much in this despite having one less man, especially on evidence of the end of the first half.
Spurs get the second half underway.
HALF-TIME – Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool
On the replays, Gakpo is clearly limping before and after scoring his goal. It’ll be interesting to see if he comes off, with Nunez and Jota waiting in the wings.
The replays of the Diaz goal that was given offside are interesting too – it certainly doesn’t look off.
HALF-TIME – Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool
On the balance of things, Liverpool deserve to be level.
They had been playing slightly better before Jones’ red card, and still created chances after the sending off.
Spurs had grown into the game and were dominating after the card, but in terms of chances created 1-1 is a fair half-time score.
45 + 7’ - Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool
Chance!
Right on the stroke of half-time, Diaz will be disappointed not to have scored.
He was stretching to get a foot on the end of Salah’s ball in, but it was just too far and it goes wide.
The half-time whistle blows right after.
45 +4’ – GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool
Liverpool equalise!
Szoboszlai hooks a ball in to the far post which Robertson heads across goal. Gakpo brings it down and hits it on the turn, and Vicario is badly positioned and can’t get a hand to it.
45 +3’ – Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool
Yellow Card
Petering out now as we approach the half-time whistle. Sarr tries a shot from long range but it’s never troubling Alisson.
Udogie is booked now after fouling Gakpo near the half-way line as Liverpool looked to break.
