Tottenham hosts Liverpool in a mouthwatering English Premier League matchup.

Tottenham has enjoyed a fine start to its 2016-17 English Premier League campaign, earning a solid away point in a 1-1 draw at Everton and picking up three points against Crystal Palace. The Spurs will look to continue their unbeaten run, and will go with veteran goalkeeper Michel Vorm replacing injured team captain Hugo Lloris in net. Kyle Walker, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, and Danny Rose make up perhaps the league’s strongest defensive unit, with Eric Dier and summer acquisition Victor Wanyama in center midfield. Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen will play further up the pitch, with Harry Kane in attack and the last spot between Vincent Janssen and Dele Alli. Liverpool, still missing Loris Karius due to injury, will start goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, with Nathaniel Clyne, Dejan Lovren, Ragnar Klavan, and James Milner expected in defense. Adam Lallana, Jordan Henderson, and Georginio Wijnaldum will start in midfield, with Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino, and Daniel Sturridge a dangerous attacking trio. With Liverpool’s defensive woes and both teams’ offensive abilities, over 2.5 goals should be scored. Tottenham’s defensive experience will be the edge in this tight matchup, which should be won by a score of 2-1 in favor of the north London side.
