Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur in the Barclays Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Liverpool are looking to make it eight league wins in a row, and would go to the top of the table if they avoid defeat after both Chelsea and Manchester City dropped points yesterday. Their last outing was a nervous 2-1 win at home to Sunderland in midweek.

Tottenham will be aiming to drag themselves back into the race for top four after Arsenal's recent poor run of form, and are currently eight points behind their rivals. They have had a week to prepare for this game after their dramatic win at home to Southampton last weekend.

Liverpool are without Sebastian Coates (knee) and Jose Enrique (knee) for this match.

Tottenham have doubts over Emmanuel Adebayor (foot), while Etienne Capoue (ankle), Vlad Chiriches (fitness), Erik Lamela (thigh) and Kyle Walker (groin) miss out.
