Sunday afternoons game at White Hart Lane sees a Tottenham Hotspur side who went into the weekend on top of the table host last season’s runners-up Liverpool.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men followed their opening day victory against West Ham United by thumping Queens Park Rangers last weekend, while they also won both legs of the Europa League qualifying play-off against AEL.

New signing Federico Fazio is in line to make his debut, though Roberto Soldado is an injury doubt with neck and back problems that kept him out of Thursday’s win over Limassol.

Emmanuel Adebayor is 7.5 (13/2) to open the scoring with Coral, who price Harry Kane at 9.0 (8/1) while Christian Eriksen is an 11.0 (10/1) chance with Bet 365.

Spurs are 2.8 (9/5) to take all three points with Bet 365, with Liverpool slight favourites at 2.7 (17/10) with Paddy Power. The draw is available at 3.6 (13/5) with Bet Victor.

Liverpool lost to Manchester City last time out, having beaten Southampton on the opening weekend of the season and currently sit in eleventh place in the league.

Reds boss Brendan Rodgers could hand debuts to Adam Lallana, who has recovered from a knee injury and Mario Balotelli, who completed his switch from AC Milan earlier in the week.

Former Manchester City man Balotelli is 7.5 (13/2) to open the scoring with Paddy Power, with Daniel Sturridge available Cat the same price with Coral.

Liverpool won both meetings between the sides last season by an aggregate score of 9-0, winning by five goals at White Hart Lane in December, and four goals at Anfield three months later.

With Spurs starting the season so well, a much tighter game is anticipated this time around, though if you do fancy there being another goal fest Sporting Bet offer 2.8 (9/5) for there to be four or more scored in the game.

Alternatively, a home win to nil is generously priced at 5.75 (19/4) with Bet Victor, who price Liverpool at 5.4 (22/5) to win the match without conceding.
