http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31106342 TEAM NEWS Liverpool duo Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling should be fit despite limping off with knocks on Saturday. Lucas is ruled out after injuring his thigh at the weekend but Adam Lallana could return from a groin problem. Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino may name an unchanged side after reporting no new injuries following their win in the North London derby. Alternatively, Nacer Chadli could be recalled after coming on as a substitute in the last two games. MATCH PREVIEW The battle for Champions League qualification is heating up, and Liverpool and Tottenham are both in contention and on form. With Liverpool unbeaten in eight league games and Spurs suffering just one defeat in 12, this should be a fierce contest under the lights at Anfield. While Liverpool will have to put the frustration of a goalless draw against Merseyside rivals Everton behind them, Tottenham will hope to carry the momentum of a memorable comeback win in the North London derby . I have been particularly impressed with Tottenham, who have developed a resilience and sense of character that has seen them pick up 15 points from losing positions this season. And in Harry Kane they undoubtedly have the Premier League's man of the moment. Not only is he scoring goals, he is providing an effective focal point for the team that has too often been missing from Tottenham sides in recent years. Kane's tally of 12 league goals this season is already more than the 11 that Spurs' top scorer, Emmanuel Adebayor, registered in the whole of last season. Ten of those 12 goals have come from just nine starts, giving Spurs the kind of quality that is needed to secure Champions League football. But Kane's task will not be easy when he comes up against a Liverpool defence boasting four consecutive Premier League clean sheets, and a team desperate not to lose any more ground in the hunt for fourth place. In the technical area, you'll find two tactically astute young managers willing to put their faith in young players, with 19-year-old Jordon Ibe, fresh from a successful loan spell with Derby County, the latest to make an impact. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head Liverpool are looking for their fifth consecutive win over Tottenham, having lost just one of their last 20 Premier League home matches against Spurs (W13, D6, L1). The Reds have scored 12 goals without reply in their last three meetings with Spurs. Matches between Liverpool and Tottenham have produced nine own goals, the most in Premier League history, with three of them being scored by Jamie Carragher. Liverpool Liverpool are unbeaten in their last six league games at Anfield (W3, D3), and are the only unbeaten team in the top flight in 2015. But the Reds have won only four of their last 11 Premier League home matches (W4, D5, L2). They have lost only one of their last 14 Premier League home matches on a Tuesday (W9, D4) - a 1-0 defeat to Fulham in 2012. Steven Gerrard has scored five goals in his last three league appearances on a Tuesday, scoring in each match. Against Everton, Brendan Rodgers won his 184th point in what was his 100th Premier League game in charge of Liverpool. The only Liverpool manager to have won more points in his opening 100 Premier League games in charge of the club was Rafa Benitez with 186. Tottenham Spurs have won three of their last four away league matches. Mauricio Pochettino's side have won 12 points from goals scored in the final five minutes of Premier League games this season, twice as many as any other side. They have only won one of their last eight Premier League away matches on a Tuesday (D1, L6). In the North London derby against Arsenal, Harry Kane scored his 22nd goal of the season in all competitions - more than any other Premier League player. He now has 11 goals in his last 14 Tottenham appearances and is the Premier League's top scorer in 2015 with seven goals. Christian Eriksen and Eden Hazard are the joint-leading Premier League midfield scorers this season with nine goals each. Anfield has traditionally been an unhappy hunting ground for Tottenham, with only six wins in 71 league matches there, but in hotshot Kane they might just have the young gun to fire them to victory.
I think you'll struggle without Coutinho. Like we did without Sanchez. Spurs might benefit from your injuries.
With injuries I'd go for............ -----------------Mingo------------------- ---Skrtel------Sakho------Lovren--- Ibe--------------Can-----------Moreno -----------Hendo--Gerrard----------- -----------Studge-Lambert----------
I think we're going for:- ----------------Kane-------------------- Kane------Kane------Kane------Kane ----------------Kane--------------------- ----Kane--------Kane-------Kane----- ------------Kane---------Kane---------
Better to be a one-man team than a no-man team, eh, PESKIE! Oh, sorry! I forgot... you've got Walnut on the mend! Silly me!
Despite L'pool's injuries, we have a pretty awful record at their place. I'd settle for not losing. If we get more, that would be a bonus. The intangible, of course, is Fat Phil!....
Apart from the fact that we have got 19 different scorers so far this season. How does that make us a one man team again Sandy ?
Insults, now! I must have touched a very raw nerve. Do you know how many different goal-scorers Spurs (who are above you in the table) have, so far this season, PESKIE?
Yes 13, that's 6 less than Arsenal. and before you say 'how does that make us a one man team then?', let me remind your of your line up you posted.
It's not that I find it an insult (it's far too juvenile to be an insult), it's more the fact that you use it as an insult.
It doesn't sound like you find it an insult, seeing as you keep going on about it being an insult. You earned the name from your previous epic meltdowns, so I suppose you are always going to be a bit sensitive about it.
Anyway HIAG, how does 19 different scorers equate to being a one man team again ? Are you using the same logic as a team getting to the QF going further than a team who reaches the Final ?
I'm sure, PESKIE, that, to a juvenile, what you wrote makes perfect sense. You kids today are becoming a complete mystery to me!
