Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino’s men meet once again

Title-chasing Liverpool will be desperate for the three points to keep the pressure on league favourites Manchester City.And although Mauricio Pochettino’s men have fallen out of the race for the Premier League, there’s no room for error as they have top four rivals Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea breathing down their necks.

• Why Liverpool may feel optimistic and Spurs could be worried ahead of this weekend’s clash

It’s expected to be a fiercely competitive match, but the Reds are perhaps more likely to win as they have home advantage and are higher in the table. But Anderton isn’t so sure, claiming he doesn’t see Jurgen Klopp’s side as a better team than Spurs despite the 15-point difference between the two in the league.Anderton, speaking exclusively to 888sport, said: “At times Liverpools forwards are unstoppable.“But unfortunately for them theyve had a little wobble, drawing games they were expected to win and Mohamed Salah is not quite at the level he was before.“Sadio Mane though has been on fire these past few weeks and hes the one who has kept them going. Roberto Firmino meanwhile is under-rated and so unselfish in his play.3

Anderton believes Liverpool are not as much of an attacking threat as they were earlier this season

“When I look at Liverpool I dont see them being a better team than Spurs to be honest but theyve done the business and got the points.“Theyre the ones who are still up there.”Liverpool beat Spurs 2-1 at Wembley when they last met and although the north London club were very close to getting a point out of the game, the Reds were much the better team.But Anderton suggested Liverpool’s standard has dropped since the Premier League clash in September.3

Liverpool ran out 2-1 winners last time the two sides met

He added: “I went to watch the game at Wembley earlier this season and Liverpool were by far the better team.“No doubt about it they were different class and Spurs struggled to keep with them. But are they still at that level?“Now, this weekend it could go either way with so much talent on display.“Theres a great work ethic across both teams and it will be some battle. Im looking forward to watching it, thats for sure.”Read the full888sport interviewwithDarren Anderton and his thoughts on how Tottenhams mentality has kept them from winning titles under Pochettino.
