Liverpool vs Tottenham

LIVE: Follow all the action right here as Tottenham travel to Liverpool in a crucial game for both sides at the business end of the season.

Klopp can call upon Jota, Milner, Matip, Keita and Origi from the Liverpool substitutes while Conte's squad cannot handle just four players being out injured, meaning academy youngsters Matthew Craig, Harvey White and Dane Scarlett need to take their place on the bench. Spurs battled away and it was an even half in terms of chances created by both sides. Antonio Conte has discussed what it takes to close the gap with the top teams in the Premier League. His shot is blocked by a Henderson challenge though. So who will Antonio Conte select in his Tottenham team to face Liverpool this afternoon? Antonio Conte outlined in his pre-match press conference ahead of this evening's game that he only has 15 players to work with until the end of the season. Back in December the sides played out a 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, although Antonio Conte and his Spurs side could quite easily have won the game. Antonio Conte has opened up on the message he has passed on to his Tottenham players this week. That Tottenham are now all but guaranteed a top five finish - a huge goal difference swing aside - is something to take from the Conte reign but he wants much, much more and to get something from tonight's match would signal exactly what he can bring against the 'monsters', as he calls them, in the Premier League. Spurs dealt well with the pressure of the occasion and the crowd noise in the early stages and they've had their opportunities on the break with a better ball in the final third. Tottenham have defended well on the whole, their formation a 5-4-1 out of possession and a 3-4-3 when they look to spring on the break. Tottenham really need to leave Merseyside with points in the bag if they are to secure a top-four finish come the final day, especially with Arsenal having Leeds United to come at the Emirates on Sunday in a game which could potentially see them extend their lead.

The ball is out to Mane in the centre, who carries forward before playing the ball into the path of Salah on the right. He gets away from the Liverpool bodies, breaking to the left, before looking to come back into the centre on the edge of the area.

Manchester City will now have the chance to open a three-point lead atop the league on Sunday.

Diaz is dispossessed by Royal and Kulusevski but after winning the ball back he is able to get off a shot and almost get the ball to Mane for a goal. One of the interesting transitions of Liverpool this season has been Sadio Mane moving to a central forward role when Jota and Firmino aren't playing. Emerson Royal and Ryan Sessegnon have had roller coaster seasons this year but they're all that Conte has at his disposal out wide in one of the biggest matches of the year. Jordan Henderson came close to creating a chance but no one was free in the box to knock it in. Following an interception in midfield, Kane plays a cross to Son but it's ruled offsides. This is a change that shows how short Spurs are on the bench at the moment. It's getting into a predictable rhythm now as Liverpool breaks finds Mane or Diaz and then Spurs stick with them to make a last-second tackle. But they came back into the lineup in such a big match and showed up when it mattered. Antonio Conte ensures that every player is as prepared as possible and it made a difference as those two players were critical in keeping the match level. Tottenham and Liverpool drew, 1-1, at Anfield on Saturday in a result that has huge implications for the top of the Premier League table. For Liverpool, while Manchester City has a game in hand on them and a match against Newcastle Sunday, the Reds have completed the hardest game remaining on their schedule still gaining a point. In the race for top four things are a little murkier.

Kane did superbly to control a high ball and then played in Sessegnon on the right channel and his cross was tapped in by Son for his 20th goal of the season. In the end a draw was a disappointing outcome for both clubs in their respective ambitions, Liverpool's to reclaim the title and Tottenham's to finish in the top four. The result takes Liverpool level on points with Manchester City and above them on goal difference at the top of the Premier League but City now have a game in hand, at home to Newcastle United on Sunday.
