Tottenham vs Liverpool preview
It has been a season of contrast for Liverpool in the 2022-23 season. In The Champions League, the Reds have been impressive winning five matches. While they started their campaign poorly, losing 4-1 to Napoli following a Khvicha Kvaratskhelia masterclass, Klopp’s men found their form scoring 16 and conceding just two goals.
However, their league form has just been the opposite. After 12 matches, Liverpool are languishing in ninth place, winning four, drawing four, and losing four.

In the last five matches, the Reds have won two and lost three games. They are already 15 points behind Arsenal and are eight points adrift of the top four places.
Klopp has little time and must resurrect Liverpool as quickly as possible to salvage anything from the season. However, Tottenham are in far better form and look well-placed to inflict further misery on Liverpool.
