Danny Murphy has predicted a tough game for Tottenham on Sunday as they prepare to take on top-four rivals Liverpool at Anfield.

While Liverpool sold Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for £146m in January, Tottenham have managed to keep hold of their core group of players.
Spurs will be looking to back up Wednesday’s fine showing against Manchester United in Merseyside on Sunday. The whole world is going nuts transfer-wise and I think if someone has too much money or more than enough then it would make sense to ask: ‘Don’t you want to play for our team?’ He’s been at an outstanding top level since I was in England at least.
Spurs already beat Manchester United during the midweek fixtures, which will be followed up by the Liverpool game and finally they end this run with the North London derby at home next week.
Wednesday’s magnificent 2-0 win against Manchester United at Wembley merely widened the curious gulf between Tottenham against big teams at home and away.
Liverpool have not lost at Anfield in the league this season, but one way that Tottenham could trouble the home side is with pace on the counter-attack, a quality that could be provided by deadline-day signing Lucas Moura.
“But he’s a player that links everyone and of course when he’s not in the team we always miss him”.
Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday February 4 for the game at Anfield and the match carries a 4.30pm kick off.
That ended with a surprise defeat by relegation strugglers Swansea City, although they rebounded with a 3-0 win over Huddersfield Town on Tuesday.
Kane is now the top scorer in the league with 21 goals, and Dele Alli who had a man of the match performance against defending Champions League winners Real Madrid with two goals in the process.
“You can talk about trophies and winning the Premier League, but Liverpool have got to get back to being a Champions League club”.
“Top four, for sure, is a success”, Klopp told The Mirror. “Liverpool have been in the Champions League twice in 10 years”.
Sadio Mane terrorised the Spurs defence at Anfield last season.
Of all the midfielders under consideration (also Eric Dier, Georginio Wijnaldum, Victor Wanyama and Jordan Henderson), Can has made considerably more tackles than the other five (54, Dier second with 41), while also scoring two goals and producing three assists in the league this season – the other five have two goals and three assists between them.
Lallana has not played in his clubs last two games as he continues his recovery from long-term injury which has seen him start just two games this season.

But Pochettino choose to focus on their overall record against the best sides in the league and not just their award form.
