The attacker, who arrived from FC Porto in January 2022, can become the 60th Red to reach a century of outings in the competition.
To date, Diaz has scored 27 top-flight goals for the club and is the Premier League's fourth-highest-scoring Colombian of all time, behind only Juan Pablo Angel (44), Hamilton Ricard (31) and Hugo Rodallega (29).
Read on for more statistics ahead of the encounter with Spurs at Anfield, provided by Opta…
Liverpool have lost just one of their last 30 Premier League home games against Tottenham, going unbeaten in 13 since a 2-0 loss in May 2011.
With five fixtures remaining, the Reds have already won as many Premier League matches this season as they did in 2023-24 (24).
A victory in this game would also see them equal their points tally from the previous campaign (82).
Arne Slot's men have scored at least once in each of their last 29 Premier League matches since the 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in September. It is the second-longest scoring streak in a single campaign after Arsenal, who scored in all 38 games in 2001-02.
Mohamed Salah has scored 15 goals against Tottenham in all competitions, only netting more versus Manchester United (16) in his European club career. Eleven of those 15 strikes have come in the Premier League, with only Alan Shearer (14) netting more against Spurs.
Diaz has only netted more Premier League goals against AFC Bournemouth (five) than Spurs (four).
Trent Alexander-Arnold only has more Premier League assists against Arsenal (seven), Newcastle United (six) and West Ham United (five) than he does versus Tottenham (four).
None of Tottenham's last 15 league games on the road have finished in a draw (won five, lost 10).
Tottenham have conceded 10 goals versus Liverpool this season, losing 6-3 in the Premier League and 4-0 in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final. They last conceded more against an opponent in 2013-14 (11 versus Manchester City), while the most they have conceded is 14 (against Chelsea in 2001-02).
The Reds host Spurs at Anfield in a 4.30pm BST kick-off on Sunday (April 27) and need one point to be confirmed as champions. What do you think the result will be?

After a 2-1 win away at Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, the Reds return to St Helens Stadium for a 12pm BST kick-off on Sunday (April 27).

Free coach travel provided by club partner Expedia has sold out for this match.
The Reds know victory in their next fixture – at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday (April 27) – would definitely seal a record-equalling 20th top-flight title.
But there is a possibility first place could be secured in midweek as Arsenal are in action against Crystal Palace.
If the Gunners are beaten at Emirates Stadium in the 8pm BST kick-off, they would be unable to exceed Liverpool's current points haul of 79.
A draw on Wednesday would keep the title race mathematically alive, leaving Arsenal 12 points behind. The table-topping Reds do, however, currently possess a superior goal difference.
If that game ends even, Liverpool would then require just a point versus Spurs to be confirmed as Premier League winners.
The encounter at St Helens Stadium will now get under way at 12pm BST on Sunday April 27.

Kelleher made his 16th start of 2024-25 as Spurs were vanquished and, previewing Sunday’s next outing, the goalkeeper opened up on the hunger shared throughout the Liverpool squad for more.
“In the last few seasons we have obviously got to some finals. I think it’s just the mentality in the whole group is always spot on,” he told Liverpoolfc.com.
“We want to win every game we’re involved in, and I think that’s kind of the mentality – game by game. Obviously we’re a difficult team to beat in cup competitions. We want to win every competition we’re in. It’s that mentality to go out and win every game.
“We’re happy with the League Cup now we’re in the final. That’s a few weeks away now so that’ll be on the backburner. Focus will go towards the cup and the league as well.
“We have important games in both, all focus will be on that, we won’t take anything for granted and we want [the chance] to get more trophies than just the League Cup.”
Plymouth currently prop up England’s second tier but come in to the clash with the Reds having inflicted only a sixth league defeat of the season on play-off-chasing West Bromwich Albion last time out.
Miron Muslic’s team already have a Premier League scalp in the FA Cup, too, having won 1-0 away at Brentford in round three.

“I think obviously it’s going to be difficult,” said Kelleher. “It’s obviously a massive game for them, us coming there is going to be huge. They’re going to be ready.
“The fans are going to be ready for us. It’s going to be a tough game. We want to go there and get a win, and we need to be ready for a tough game as well.
“Maybe they’re not having the best season but that kind of goes out of the window in a cup tie. They might see it as a chance to ignite their season and get something going, especially with us coming into town.
“It’s going to be a massive day for them. We know they’ll be well up for it.”
Slot shuffled his squad when the Reds eased past Accrington Stanley 4-0 at Anfield in the previous round last month.
The Reds will seek to retain the trophy against Newcastle United at Wembley next month after overturning a 1-0 first-leg deficit in the last-four tie versus Spurs.
Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah (penalty), Dominik Szoboszlai and Virgil van Dijk were the goalscorers during a dominant performance.
