Mohamed Salah is free to talk to other teams in 10 days time. I was going to say that a while ago but I think he scored while I was typing it - so apologies if I did. This isn't me trying to get him a move away...

Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveSalah is breathtaking with the number of goals he's got. He's not a number nine, he stays out on the right-hand side. He's even missed a few penalties!

Give this post a thumbs up if you captained Mohamed Salah in fantasy football this week.

At what point do Liverpool declare and go in for an early tea?
Ian in Northumberland
All Liverpool have is three sprinters up top, the source of every single goal they score. Spurs playing a high line against that is absolutely unforgivable.

Hahaha another Liverpool win greeted by "yeah but injuries" hahahah.

I wouldn't have Forster as a backup keeper at a League 1 club never mind in the PL. Doesn't inspire any confidence.

Match Facts
Tottenham won this exact fixture 2-1 last season, last winning consecutive home league games against Liverpool between 2008 and 2012 (a run of five).
Liverpool have lost just two of their last 23 Premier League games against Tottenham (W15 D6) and have scored at least once in each of their last 17 against Spurs.
Tottenham won this exact fixture 2-1 last season thanks to a 90th minute Joel Matip own goal. Indeed, this fixture has seen more 90th minute winning goals than any other in Premier League history (6).
Tottenham have lost nine of their last 11 Premier League games against sides starting the day top of the table, with both exceptions coming away against Manchester City (2-2 in August 2019, 3-2 in February 2022). They’ve lost all five home games in this run.
Tottenham have kept just one clean sheet in their last 23 Premier League home games, a 4-0 win against Everton earlier this season. They’re winless in their last three at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (D1 L2), last having a longer run without a home win in November/December 2013 (4).
Spurs have scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes of games than any other side in the Premier League this season (9), with five of those coming in their last two games.
Having conceded just three goals in their first eight Premier League games this season, Liverpool have now conceded 10 in their last seven. Their last two games have been drawn 3-3 with Newcastle and 2-2 with Fulham, with the Reds last drawing three straight league games in the same season back in October 2015.
Victory for Liverpool will see them top of the Premier League table at Christmas for the first time since 2020-21. However, the Reds have only won the title in one of the last seven top-flight campaigns in which they’ve been top at Christmas, doing so in 2019-20.
Son Heung-min’s two assists against Southampton last time out took his total in the Premier League to 68 – the joint-most of any Tottenham player in the competition’s history (level with Darren Anderton).
Mohamed Salah has been involved in 22 of Liverpool’s 31 Premier League goals this season (71%), by far the highest share of any player for a side so far this term. He has 13 goals and nine assists, and could become the first player in Premier League history to reach double figures for both before Christmas in a single campaign.
