Tottenham host Liverpool in the Premier League today at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It is a fascinating clash between two of the form sides English football has to offer at the moment, with both teams putting their unbeaten records on the line.
Spurs and their rapid rise under Ange Postecoglou has actually been compared to Jurgen Klopp’s impact with the Reds. Though there is still an awful lot to prove on that front at this early stage of his tenure, the signs are certainly promising. Another big performance against a celebrated team would only add to that.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are in ominous form themselves. After such a poor campaign last time out, optimism is high following a strong start to the season, with another title challenge looking likely.

Live updates
75min: Alexander-Arnold’s first involvement is to win a corner, which Van Dijk meets but it’s well over the bar.
73min: Triple change for Liverpool. Endo, Alexander-Arnold and Konate on for Gomez, Diaz and Salah.

“Jota can probably count himself unlucky for the first booking, which looked like minor contact on Udogie. But once he was on a yellow card, it was brainless to dive in on the left-back again. Easy decision for referee Simon Hooper.”
RED CARD!
70min: Jota gets two yellow cards inside a minute and the half-time substitute is off! Liverpool are down to nine men.
68min: Son is coming off. That’s interesting. Solomon on.
66min: Incredible last-ditch sliding tackle from Porro to deny Salah, who continues to pose a threat on the counter.

“Spurs are piling the pressure on ten-man Liverpool in search of a second goal. The visitors remain a threat on the counter, especially with Salah in this touch, but pattern of the game very much set now.”
62min: Kulusevski tries to find Richarlison at the back post, but again Alisson is there to thwart Spurs.
NO GOAL!
59min: Now it’s Spurs’ turn to have a goal disallowed as Maddison feeds Richarlison, who finds Son … but Richarlison went a tad early.
57min: Spurs get the chance to break now as Son finds Udogie, but the left-back opts to turn back inside and find Sarr for a pop at goal. He looked almost through on goal then.
