Much to the despair of Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s promising season has stagnated over the past few weeks. With trouble scoring goals and keeping goals out there’s plenty of wavering questions hanging over Klopp’s head. A place in next season’s Champions League is now their only realistic goal and if they want to achieve it, they’ll need to make up ground by beating Spurs on the weekend.

Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs side are currently second in the league and are nine points behind league leaders Chelsea. With Antonio Conte’s side facing a tough trip to Burnley, it could be an opportunity for Tottenham to put less distance between themselves and Chelsea.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur kicks off at 17:30pm

Where can I watch it?

The game will be shown live on BT Sport 1 where you can watch all the build-up from 5pm.

Highlights will be shown on match of the day at 22:30pm on BBC One.

It’s a big game for…

Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool’s German manager has never had to prove his credentials any more than he does now. The Reds are in a torrid run of form of late and Klopp is beginning to get desperate. With their season falling apart three points on Saturday is just the change of fortune his Liverpool side needs and if he wants to finish in a top four spot come the end of the season, a victory on Saturday could prove vital.

Best stat…

Tottenham have failed to beat Liverpool in their last nine meetings.

Remember when…

Liverpool demolished Andre Villas-Boas’ Tottenham side 5-0 in December 2013.

Player to watch…

Harry Kane. With seven goals in his last seven outings in the league, Kane is certainly Tottenham’s dangerman. The English striker is more than capable of scoring all types of goals and he’ll be Liverpool’s biggest threat on Saturday evening.

Following two damaging defeats, Arsenal have a serious point to prove today. The poor run of form has left their title hopes in tatters and the speculation surrounding Wenger's future with The Gunners continues.

Hull will arrive to The Emirates with renewed confidence following two impressive defeats, so they will be hungry for continue their rich vein of form. Hull remain at a rather uncomfortable 18th in the Premier League table, so three points here today will be vital for Silva's men.

What should Arsene Wenger do?

[11 February 2017 12:12 · Joe Miles]

Hull have not beaten Arsenal in their last 13 meetings, but can be the day for Silva's men to break this deadly curse? The Tigers new boss has secured seven points from four Premier League games, which is equal to Hull's points from 18 games prior to his arrival. He carries a huge influence on the side which is evident when reviewing their recent performances.

Can they do it today at The Emirates? We'll see.
