It always feels like ages since my last post after an international break, not helped by the fact I missed providing a Southampton match report because my dissertation is crushing me... Anyway, enough of my life, it's Liverpool V Spurs!
Saturday's big match could prove very fruitful for the Reds who could do with the three points after that disastrous Saints result. Liverpool would also play a big role in the title race if they managed to get a win over Pochettino's side, pushing the title ever closer to the hands of Leicester.
For Spurs, Pochettino's side are looking pretty strong with just Vertonghen and Bentaleb definitely sitting out of Saturday's fixture.
The Reds have won four out of the last five meetings between the two sides in the league. In their last ten trips in the league to Anfield, Spurs have won on just one occasion.
Spurs currently sit in 2nd place chasing down Leicester, Pochettino's side have lost just one game out of their last ten in the league.
A straight win for the Reds on Saturday is priced at 6/4 at the moment while the draw is 23/10. I've been placing half time/full time bets a lot lately and I quite like the look of Draw/Liverpool for 5/1.
In terms of first goalscorers most will have their eye on Daniel Sturridge at 5/1 and also Philippe Coutinho who is priced at 17/2.
Enjoy the match folks, wherever you are watching!
