Liverpool vs. Tottenham - Preview

Probable starting eleven:

Liverpool:
Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Gerrard, Spearing, Adam, Suarez, Carroll, Bellamy

Tottenham:
Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto, Krancjar, Parker, Modric, Livermore, Bale, Adebayor

Luis Suarez is back for Liverpool. It is a big boost for the hosts, but don\'t forget Suarez is without a match for more then a month. I am sure he need some time to enter the right form. So, the manager Kenny Dalglish has almost all players available now, only Lucas is out with a cruciate ligament injury. On other side Harry Redknapp has some injury doubts on Rafael van der Vaart, Kyle Walker, Emmanuel Adebayor, Jermain Defoe and Aaron Lennon.

Both teams are in similar form at the moment. Interesting, both teams had one victory, one draw and one defeat in the last three Premier league matches. Here are the results:

31.01. Wolves - Liverpool 0:3
21.01. Bolton - Liverpool 3:1
14.01. Liverpool - Stoke 0:0
------------------------------------------------------
31.01. Tottenham - Wigan 3:1
22.01. Manchester City - Tottenham 3:2
14.01. Tottenham - Wolves 1:1

What can we expect from this match? Well, I don\'t see a clear favorite. Liverpool have the home advantage, but Liverpool failed to win 7 times at Anfield. The draws against Manchester City and Manchester United should not be considered as bad results, but the draws against Stoke, Blackburn, Swansea, Norwich and Sunderland disappointed the fans. Tottenham have an excellent record against Liverpool in the last period, winning the last three matches. They won 4:0 at White Hart Lane this season, on 18.09.2011, and they won both games last season - 2:1 at home and 2:0 at Anfield. Still, I believe this match will finish with a draw.
