Liverpool v Tottenham preview: Team news, where to watch, supercomputer prediction
Arne Slot is hoping to lift the Premier League trophy with Liverpool on Sunday.
Liverpool return to Premier League action with a game against Tottenham, knowing that just a point will be enough to secure them the title.
An Arsenal draw against Crystal Palace on Wednesday (23 April) did enough to let the Reds claim it in front of their own fans while also leaving little jeopardy over the necessary outcome.
Preview
Sitting 12 points clear at the top of the Premier League table, Liverpool know that the title is theirs and will be eager to clinch it on home turf on Sunday.
In Slot’s first season as boss, he will know how big this achievement is, as well as hoping this is just the start of what’s to come.
The Dutchman has consistently played his strongest side and will no doubt do so against Spurs on Sunday, ensuring the job gets done without any problems.
Tottenham are not the same force they have been previously and sitting sixteenth in the Premier League table highlights the opportunity in front of the Reds.
| Team | Played | Won | Drawn | Lost |
| Liverpool | 33 | 24 | 7 | 2 |
| Tottenham | 33 | 11 | 4 | 18 |
Ange Postecoglou’s job could ride on Europa League success and with the first leg of their semi-final scheduled for 1 May, the Lilywhites could well rotate for this clash, giving Slot’s men an even bigger boost.

The Reds need just a point to win the title and that is the second most likely outcome at 16.2 per cent.
