Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
In the same fixture of the 2014-15 campaign, the Reds claimed a topsy-turvy 3-2 victory over visiting Spurs. Can you recall the home team that started that game? See how many you can name below...
Recent form
Spurs have won just one of their last seven Premier League matches, defeating Southampton 3-1 near the start of the month.
Ange Postecoglou's side entered the weekend occupying 16th place in the standings on 37 points.
Their form in the Europa League is better, however, and they progressed to the semi-finals with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Eintracht Frankfurt last week.
This game precedes the first leg of their last-four tie with Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt.
Key players
Brennan Johnson has been Tottenham's main source of goals so far this season with 16 in all competitions.
Dominic Solanke has had spells out through injury and is second-best in the team on 12. James Maddison and captain Son Heung-min, who is sidelined through injury, have 11 apiece.
Son has the highest number of assists for Spurs in 2024-25 thus far on 11, with Dejan Kulusevski and Maddison one behind.
Team news
Tottenham have no fresh concerns within their squad following the defeat by Nottingham Forest last time out.
Son remains out with his foot problem and defender Radu Dragusin is recovering from surgery on an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Previous meetings
This will be the clubs' fourth and final encounter of the campaign.
In the reverse Premier League fixture, Liverpool ran out 6-3 winners in the capital just before Christmas.
They would be paired together in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup and after Spurs edged the first leg 1-0, the Reds scored four without reply in the return match at Anfield to book their Wembley spot.
What they said
Postecoglou, Tottenham head coach
"You want to go there and compete against a very good side and compete well. It's not about getting through unscathed, you want to get through having played well against a top team. Irrespective of what's on the horizon, that's still of primary importance to us.
"In the [Carabao Cup semi-final] first leg I thought we were really good. We took the game to them, even though we had quite a few absences, and worked really hard to get a win in that game. We know it's going to be tough on the weekend but, at the same time, I think it's a great chance for us."
Pre-match stats
Tottenham have won just two of their last 24 Premier League games against Liverpool, with both victories coming at home.
Spurs have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 18 matches versus the Reds in the top flight.
None of Tottenham's last 15 league matches on the road have finished in a draw (won five, lost 10).
Richarlison has scored in four of his last five Premier League appearances and all four of the Brazilian's goals against Liverpool have been at Anfield.
The Anfield encounter could end with the Reds confirmed as champions – Arne Slot’s team need one point to seal the club’s 20th league title.
Slot did not reveal any new fitness concerns when he previewed the 4.30pm BST kick-off at a press conference on Friday.
He was, though, asked about Conor Bradley’s readiness to complete a full match after playing 68 minutes against West Ham United and 71 at Leicester City last time out.
“That depends of course on the upcoming two sessions, but he was getting closer and closer to 90 minutes,” said Slot.
“The first and the second one were approximately the same amount of minutes and it’s normal if you played twice around 70 minutes then the chance of you being able to play 90 is getting closer and closer.
“But we are also taking very good care of him because he had two injuries that were similar. Let’s wait and see how he does today and tomorrow if he’s able to play, and if he’s able to play if he can make 90.”
Trent Alexander-Arnold had replaced Bradley and delivered the winning goal versus Leicester on what was his return appearance from almost six weeks sidelined with injury.
Joe Gomez has yet to return to team training as he recovers from an injury sustained in early February, but Slot explained the No.2 is on course to feature again before the end of the season.
Luis Diaz could make his 100th Premier League appearance and become the 60th player to reach that milestone in the competition for the club.
This game is the fourth meeting between the teams of the campaign, with the Reds winning the reverse league fixture 6-3 and prevailing 4-1 on aggregate in the two-legged Carabao Cup semi-finals.
“You can always be surprised by a game plan of a manager,” said Slot. “But in the end of the season, every team played so many games and it would be a bit weird to change their playing style in the end of a season. During the season this can happen a bit more.
“Tottenham know the way we play, we know the way they play. You can always adjust some details. But I think the big picture is clear for Ange Postecoglou and for me as well, what we can expect.”
Tottenham, meanwhile, will again be without Son Heung-min.
Son, who has scored in each of his last four Premier League appearances at Anfield, has missed Spurs’ past three games due to a foot injury and head coach Postecoglou said on Friday his captain will not return this weekend.
Postecoglou reported no fresh fitness worries following Monday’s loss to Nottingham Forest, though, meaning Son and Radu Dragusin are the visitors’ only absentees.
“Squad-wise, there’s no change,” he told Tottenham’s official website.
“All the guys got through [Forest] OK. In terms of rehab, Sonny’s the only one who is going through that process, improving, but not ready for Sunday.”
Spurs host Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie on Thursday and Postecoglou added: “Again, with the programme we have coming up, Thursday obviously is a big night for us.
“So, it will be a matter of playing a few that need the game time and others we feel may need less exposure. We’ll have a look at that.”
Last match
Leicester 0-1 Liverpool (April 20): Alisson, Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Diaz.
Tottenham 1-2 Forest (April 21): Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence, Sarr, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Odobert, Richarlison, Tel.
Following Arsenal's draw with Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, the Reds can seal a 20th top-flight championship by avoiding defeat at Anfield this weekend.
Arne Slot's men currently occupy first place in the Premier League standings on 79 points.
With four matches remaining on their calendar, the maximum points total the Gunners can finish with is 79.
The Reds can be confirmed as Premier League champions if they avoid defeat by Spurs, which would hand the club's supporters the first opportunity for an in-person title celebration in 35 years.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday morning, Slot wants his team to treat the occasion like they have done in the previous 33 league matches that got them into this position.
Update: Liverpool's Premier League title permutations for Sunday
He said: "First of all, that's a big responsibility because we are aware of the fact that the last time this club won the league it was COVID time.
"So, everybody is looking forward to Sunday but we know there is still a job to be done, at least one point.
"That's what we know and hopefully our fans know as well when they come to the stadium, that they support us in the best possible way they can – which is what they have done the whole season – and are aware of the fact that we still need a point.
"That's something we are definitely aware of here inside this building. So, it's a nice game to look forward to but it's also a responsibility we have for Sunday.
"First there is a game to be played against a Tottenham side that is playing for something special as well, maybe not in the league but definitely in the Europa League. So, they want to go towards Bodo/Glimt in the best possible prepared way.
"We are only focused on the next opponent and that is Tottenham now. So, we will try to prepare the team the same way we have the whole season and hopefully the team, the players, can bring the energy, the same mentality towards the game as they've brought throughout the whole season.
"And the fans, we are expecting from them the same."
With that mindset in place, any satisfaction the head coach will draw from the weekend is entirely dependent on the result.
When asked if he will be able to enjoy the game, Slot replied: "I enjoy going to Anfield every single [time] but the moment the referee blows the whistle, or even before that when I do my meetings, of course the focus is on trying to get the points or the win over the line.
"We're only settling for a win and a point is not enough. The moment you enjoy is mostly when the referee blows the whistle; these are the three, four or five minutes when you are really happy, when you walk off the pitch.
"Then you walk into a dressing room, where you always see one or two players who are not as happy as I am because they haven't played, so then already you start to think, 'OK, this has to be managed again as well.' And then I need to go to [do] the media.
"It's mostly three, four or five minutes that you are really happy and then 'normal' manager life starts again. Enjoying is what you do after the referee has blown his whistle."
Joe Gomez fitness update
Slot is bidding to become just the fifth boss in history to win the Premier League during his first season in the competition.
Although he could not have foreseen his debut campaign playing out exactly the way it has, the Dutchman knows being in charge of Liverpool comes with the requirement of delivering success.
Slot said: "I've said many times if you come in, in the first days you are here you first of all look around you, how the training ground looks and then you start to work with your players.
"Then you are trying to get your playing style across, which we already knew we wouldn't change that much. But when players come back from holidays, when they have come back from playing for their national teams, sometimes you need to refresh them a bit and what is expected over here.
"Then, if you walk through this door, if you walk in here or at Anfield, you know the expectations, you know the expectations are this club has to win trophies – and that doesn't change when I walk through the door.
"The good thing is, as I have said a few times before, most managers work here for a long time, so you have a lot of chances to win something.
"You are aware of that but it's not the first thing you think about when you walk through this door."
