Overview
- Spurs begin the day 16th, just one point above the relegation zone, having lost six straight in all competitions and still seeking a first league win of 2026.
- Captain Cristian Romero and midfielder João Palhinha are sidelined after a head collision against Atlético Madrid, compounding absences that include Micky van de Ven’s suspension.
- Caretaker manager Igor Tudor is contracted only to the end of the season to steer Spurs clear of the drop and has yet to register a victory.
- Liverpool are sixth after a 1-0 Champions League loss at Galatasaray and aim to cut a three-point gap to the top four; Alisson missed midweek but was described as likely to return.
- Kick-off is 4:30pm GMT at Anfield, live on Sky Sports in the UK with BBC Radio 5 Live commentary, and reports suggest Spurs could revisit talks over Andy Robertson.
