Tottenham face Liverpool in the Premier League as Jurgen Klopp’s in-form Reds face their toughest test of the season at Ange Postecoglou’s resurgent Spurs.

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.

42’ – Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool

The game has calmed down as the half comes to an end, with both teams looking like they may be happy to play it out before re-grouping at half-time.

Spurs are knocking it around nicely though, and they make a clear-cut chance after some nice work from Son and Richarlison. It ends with Richarlison hitting the post with a shot across goal, but the flag is up for offside.

36’ – GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool

GOAL!

Spurs have the first goal of the game courtesy of Son!

A fantastic ball from Maddison splits the defence and finds Richarlison who had made the run behind Gomez. The Brazilian squares it for a tap-in for Son, and Spurs are 1-0 up.

Son seems to be enjoying his new central role.

33’ – Tottenham 0-0 Liverpool

Spurs continue cutting through the Liverpool defence, with a well-worked move ending in Richarlison blazing over the bar.

60 minutes looks like a long time for Liverpool to hold out, but it’s worth remembering that they won both previous games where they received a red card.

And there’s almost a timely reminder as Luis Diaz breaks through and finishes well across Vicario. There’s a VAR check, but he was just offside.

29’ – Tottenham 0-0 Liverpool

Spurs are certainly in the ascendency now, dominating possession and creating a couple of decent chances.

Kulusevski makes a mazy run in the box before his shot is blocked, before Maddison has a tame shot saved by Alisson.

25’ – Tottenham 0-0 Liverpool

VAR Correction - RED CARD!

Simon Hooper overturns his decision, and Curtis Jones is sent off!

Bissouma is still receiving treatment, but there was no malice in the challenge. It’s dubious, but Jones was over the ball and impacted Bissouma’s anke.

That is Liverpool’s third red card this season.

23’ – Tottenham 0-0 Liverpool

Yellow Card

Curtis Jones is given a yellow card, for a challenge on Bissouma, but VAR are reviewing it for a red.

His foot is over the ball, but it would be harsh.

22’ – Tottenham 0-0 Liverpool

Spurs are trying to slow the game down a bit now, after a period where Liverpool were winning the ball in dangerous areas.

They’re keeping possession well, but they aren’t showing much threat.

18’ – Tottenham 0-0 Liverpool

Chance!

Liverpool have another chance, working the ball well down Salah’s wing before Szoboszlai’s ball in finds Gakpo. His shot is blocked, but Liverpool seem to be in the ascendency.

17’ – Tottenham 0-0 Liverpool

Shouts for a penalty from Spurs fans but Van Dijk had his arms by his side.

Nothing comes from the resulting corner, and Liverpool are back in possession, Salah winning a foul near halfway.
