Merson predicts the result of the clash between Liverpool and Tottenham

Anfield

Paul Merson has predicted that the Premier League game between Liverpool and Tottenham this weekend will end off in a draw.

Spurs are currently fifth on the League standings and could move above third-placed Liverpool should they win the match.

Spurs are aiming to break into the top four of the League and their recent 2-0 victory over Manchester United would have certainly given them a confidence boost.

They can also head into the game, taking motivation from the fact that they defeated the Reds 4-1 when the two teams last faced off in October. With Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane both in top form, it could be a difficult game.

“Both teams have a go – they don’t know any other way,” Merson wrote in his column for Sky Sports.

“It’s difficult to go against Liverpool at home but when you watch Spurs, and they play like they did against United, they were absolutely outstanding.

“The way they passed the ball and moved it around the pitch was exceptional. I’m going to go for goals and a 2-2 draw.”
