Fifth placed Tottenham Hotspur have hit a good run of form as they look to take on second placed Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.

Spurs go into the fixture with three successive wins in all competitions under their belts. However Spurs have been inconsistent at home this season mustering only three wins in nine in the Premier League. In contrast Liverpool have been in fine home form this season, winning seven out of eight games, but they have only managed to win twice on the road in the Premier League so far.

Liverpool will be without Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge due to injury, however Brendon Rodgers will be hoping that star striker, Luis Suarez continues his fine goal scoring run of form. The Uruguayan front man is currently the Premier Leagues top goal scorer, having netted 15 times for the Reds this season.

Roberto Soldado will be looking to regain his place in the side after netting his first hat trick for Spurs in Thursday’s Europa League tie against Russian outfit Anzhi Makhachkala. Danny Rose is set to make his Premier League return after a lengthy spell on the sidelines, whilst Jan Vertonghen and Younes Kaboul will not feature due to injury.
