Saturday’s Premier League action kicks off at White Hart Lane where Tottenham Hotspur face Liverpool.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side have taken four points from their opening two games this season following their opening day draw at Everton with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace last weekend.

Another win here will see the North London outfit move into first place, a position they have only occupied for thirty-three days since the division’s inception in 1992.

Moussa Dembele remains suspended for the hosts and Hugo Lloris is not expected back from injury until the match with Stoke City on September 10th though Kevin Wimmer is available for selection.

Last season’s Golden Boot winner Harry Kane is favourite to get the first goal of the game at 6.5 (11/2) with Paddy Power ahead of Vincent Jansen who can be backed at 7.0 (6/1).

The home win is widely available at 2.4 (7/5) with the visitors as highly priced as the 3.2 (11/5) on offer from a variety of firms. The draw can be backed at 3.4 (12/5) with Paddy Power.

Having put four past Arsenal in their first game of the season Jurgen Klopp’s side fell to a shock defeat to Burnley last Saturday though they go into the game on the back of Tuesdsay evening’s 5-0 League Cup second round win over Championship side Burton Albion.

There are doubts over the fitness of Divock Origi, Philippe Coutinho and Emre Can though Sadio Mane should keep his place after returning from a shoulder injury midweek.

Daniel Sturridge is 7.5 (13/2) to open the scoring with Paddy Power while Mane can be backed at 10.0 (9/1) with Sky Bet.

Both of last season’s meetings between the sides ended in draws with the pair sharing the spoils at Anfield back in April, six months after the stalemate at White Hart Lane.

However the six clashes prior to the 2015/16 campaign saw three or more goals and you can back that outcome this time around at a price of 1.78 (7/9) with 888 Sport.
