Free scoring
Liverpool scored 16 goals in three games against Spurs last season and still had time to fire a blank in a first leg Carabao Cup semi-final.
Spurs were the ideal opponents for Slot's Reds last term as they tore through them winning 6-3 here 12 months ago before that famous Anfield afternoon at the end of April, when they triumphed 5-1. They were two of the best performances from Slot's champions last time out but it is fair to say Ange Postecoglou's set up played into their hands.
Thomas Frank's may not, in fairness. But Spurs are not much further along in their development under the likeable former Brentford boss and their home form, in particular, is a cause for concern.
Liverpool have to take advantage of that here today.
Home comforts
It's all very festive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Christmas songs are blaring out in the press cafe, we've been treated to a Turkey lunch ahead of kick off and there's some wintery decor on display too. Very hospitable.
Hopefully Spurs are just as welcoming come 5.30pm!
They've not been great here this season, only winning twice in front of their own fans in the Premier League.
But after last weekend's heavy loss to Forest, they'll be desperate to bounce back.
Team musings
So how do we think Liverpool will line up today then?
Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike as a front two?
Florian Wirtz off the left?
And is there a case for Federico Chiesa?
Personally, I suspect Arne Slot will pack the side with midfielders and keep Curtis Jones in there and play Dominik Szoboszlai and Wirtz off the flanks.
To see how my XI lines up and also my colleagues' thoughts, read the full piece here.
Welcome very much
A very slightly cold welcome to the latest game in Liverpool's season.
Yes, it's the Premier League and it's Tottenham.
We like coming to Tottenham because we get properly fed, even if it took four-and-a-half hours to get here.
Liverpool liked coming here this time last year as they won 6-3. More of that again, please.
Let's do this!
Good afternoon
Good afternoon and welcome to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where Liverpool are attempting to stretch their unbeaten run across all competitions to a sixth game.
With Chelsea being held to a 2-2 draw at Newcastle in the day's early fixture, the Reds have the chance to go level on points with the Londoners, although Enzo Maresca's side have a superior goal difference.
Shall we, then?
