TOTTENHAM VS LIVERPOOL PREVIEW

Martin Jol's side have won their last seven home games in the Premiership and are looking to maintain their push for UEFA Champions League qualification.

Spurs will draw level on points with Liverpool if they win, and they will be determined to exact revenge for the 3-0 defeat at Anfield in September.

Liverpool slipped up against Blackburn on Boxing Day but had scored nine goals without reply in their three games prior to Christmas and will be eager to get back on track.

The Reds will be wary of Tottenham's strikeforce however, with Jermain Defoe and Dimitar Berbatov totalling 22 goals between them this season.

They are set to continue up front for the Londoners, even if Mido overcomes the groin problem which ruled him out of the victory over Aston Villa.

Robbie Keane (knee) is also sidelined, while Aaron Lennon has missed the last four games and remains a major concern.

Rafa Benitez has no fresh injury worries ahead of the game, but may decide to tinker with his starting XI.

Jermaine Pennant and Luis Garcia are both pressing for recalls, with Mark Gonzalez the likeliest to make way.

Peter Crouch was preferred to Dirk Kuyt as Craig Bellamy's strike partner against Blackburn but he has not scored in the Premiership since October and may be relegated to the substitutes' bench.
