Liverpool visit Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday aiming to continue their relentless march towards a first ever Premier League title.

The Reds head into weekend with a 13-point lead over Leicester City, with reigning champions Manchester City a further point adrift in third place.

With a game in hand on both teams, Liverpool are massive favourites in the Premier League odds to end their long title drought.

Manager Jurgen Klopp will be hoping for better news on the injury front this week after seeing James Milner limp out of the FA Cup clash with Everton on Sunday.

The 24-year-old picked up a hamstring injury early in the game and could be doubtful to face Spurs this weekend.

Defenders Joel Matip and Devran Lovren may be fit enough to rejoin the squad, while midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri is also set to return.

However, Fabinho and Naby Keita are unlikely to be back until later this month, while Nathaniel Clyne remains a long-term absentee.

Spurs also have ongoing injury issues, with Hugo Lloris, Ben Davies and Danny Rose still on the sidelines.

Manager Jose Mourinho’s biggest headache is the absence of Harry Kane, with the striker ruled out for at least a month with a hamstring problem.

Tanguy Ndombele is also doubtful after suffering a hip injury against Southampton on New Years’ Day and he is unlikely to start against Liverpool.

Having successfully negotiated the FA Cup tie against Everton with a much-changed team, confidence amongst the squad will be high for the Spurs game.

Their recent record against the North London club is excellent, with Spurs winning just 12 out of 45 meetings in all competitions since the turn of the century.

Liverpool beat Spurs 2-1 in the reverse fixture back in October and will fancy their chances of completing the double this weekend.

Spurs’ form had improvedsince Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino, but they were deservedly beaten in their last outing at Southampton and it’s difficult to imagine them troubling Liverpool.

The fixture kicks-off a tricky looking run of league games that the Reds will be eager to navigate safely over the next few weeks.

They face Manchester United at Anfield on January 19, before visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers the following weekend.

Klopp’s side will then visit West Ham United on January 29 for the game that was rescheduled due to their participation in the Club World Cup.

Given their current form it would be no surprise to see Liverpool record four successive victories and that would set them up perfectly for the final few months of the campaign.

With the Champions League and FA Cup also up for grabs, Klopp will be keen for the Reds to maintain their momentum.

The have looked a class apart this season, but their lead could be eroded if complacency is allowed to set in.

A victory this weekend would provide the ideal platform for the next few games and Liverpool look a banker bet to pick up all three points.
