Two big Premier League clubs both experiencing underperformance through the first half of the 2025/26 season clash in London as Tottenham play host to Liverpool on Saturday.

The visiting Reds have been dropping points left and right for months, but a win today could signal a righting of the ship, sitting seventh on 26 points through 16 matches. Victory here in London would leave them unbeaten in their last five with three wins across that span.

Spurs, meanwhile, sit 12th as Thomas Frank continues to struggle in his first year in charge of the club. They have just one win in their past five league games, with three defeats in that span, leaving them floundering in the bottom half of the table.

Tottenham vs. Liverpool live updates, highlights from Premier League

2 hours to kickoff: Arne Slot said ahead of today's match that he thinks maybe he was too positive about believing the revamped squad would come together quicker than it has. 

This game feels like the potential for Liverpool to prove they have turned a corner. Will they make it three wins in a row across all competitions? That is something they've not managed since September.

Arne Slot says he's been 'too positive' about Liverpool's transformation this season 😲

Tottenham are without Pape Sarr thanks to AFCON, as the midfielder joins up with the Senegal national team for the next month.

Yves Bissouma is missing thanks to an ankle injury, while Destiny Udogie misses out with a muscle issue.

Radu Dragusin and Dejan Kulusevski have both missed the entire first half of the season due to injury, but they are expected to return sometime in the next month, as is Dominic Solanke. James Maddison, however, will have to wait until the spring to have any chance of making it back from his torn ACL.

Mo Salah has departed for AFCON duty and linked up with the Egypt national team. That means Dominik Szoboszlai will maintain the right wing role uncontested after displacing his teammate with strong performances.

Jeremie Frimpong returned to training for Liverpool prior to today's match, but will need time to ramp back up to full fitness. Cody Gakpo has missed the last two matches but a scan revealed he could be back sooner than expected.

Joe Gomez picked up a hamstring injury in the last match and will be out for a few weeks. 

Liverpool projected starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Alisson (GK) — Bradley, Konate, van Dijk, Kerkez — Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Szoboszlai, Jones, Wirtz — Ekitike.
