Liverpool have lost only one of their last 24 home Premier League matches against Spurs, a 0-2 defeat in May 2011 under Kenny Dalglish. They have won 15 of those meetings.
The Reds are unbeaten in their last 36 home PL matches. If they avoid defeat here, it will be the joint-second longest unbeaten home run in the competition’s history. Chelsea went 86 without defeat between 2004 and 2008 while Manchester City managed 37 from 2010-2012.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has been involved in four goals in four Premier League appearances against Liverpool at Anfield, scoring three and assisting one.
