Last season, Liverpool beat Spurs 9-0 over the course of their two meetings. But this time around, it’s Tottenham that might hold the edge. Under Mauricio Pochettino, they’re perfect through two, and they’ve yet to concede a goal.
Tottenham vs. Liverpool: Lineups
Yes, it’s early days, but Spurs are going to take advantage of their momentum, especially since Liverpool haven’t quite kicked into gear. They took all three points against Southampton to start the season, but slipped up against Manchester City last week, losing 3-1.
Brendan Rodgers will be hoping his new star signing silences the doubters. He’s selected Mario Balotelli to start his first match in a Liverpool shirt, despite admitting he’s not yet at full fitness. Will he even begin to make up for the loss of Luis Suárez?
