Liverpool beat Westham to get an important win, and successfully recorded 3 consecutive wins in the league. If they win this game, they will have a chance to suppress Tottenham Hotspur, and hopefully lock the qualification for the coming season's European competition.
Alexandre Arnault played closer to the center of the field against Westham, and leader Kopp proved to be an effective transfer, handing in an assist for Kopp's goal. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the center of midfield again this time around, which will be a bit of a problem for Tottenham's interim leader Ryan Mason.
Gap has scored 2 goals in his last 3 league games and I think he is one of the redeeming features of the Reds this season. Although he will need some time to get used to it, he seems to have all the abilities needed to be a good striker and has a bright future ahead of him. With his confidence, I expect him to test Spurs' very shaky defense.
Ryan Mason arranged his team to play a 3-center formation in their last league match against Manchester United, but Tottenham's defense was easily torn apart by the Red Devils in the first half, so they have to make improvements before they visit Anfield this time. Luckily, they fought hard in the second half and had a good performance, so they have a better chance to win after tying the game.
Son Heung-min has scored 3 goals in his last 4 matches and is regaining his confidence. I expect his tandem with Khalilani to cause problems for Liverpool's defense, which is struggling to perform.
Tottenham's second half performance against the Red Devils will strengthen the team's morale, but their ability to qualify for Europe is becoming quite passive.
I think there will be a lot of goals in this match, and since Liverpool has the advantage of home field, I expect the Reds to win in the end.
