Can we say this game is a key one in the title race at this stage? Liverpool, despite all their injury problems, are still fancied to be in the running to retain the trophy while Tottenham look a completely new side under Jose Mourinho and have demonstrated an ability to play in a number of ways.

Unfortunately for the neutral, and the large majority of us hoping for an entertaining game, that does mean they can completely shut down a match if they want to play for a point. Against a Liverpool side who have shown a decreased offensive output in some of their recent contests, it should lead to a low-scoring encounter.

Spurs' recent trip to Stamford Bridge was a dull 0-0 with very little happening at either end and that is exactly what they would have wanted. They lined up with the aim of securing a point rather than carrying the risk of losing three and, away at another top side, we can expect a similar tactic.

It would have likely always been the plan but their approach could have been affected by dropped points at Crystal Palace last time out. Defeat here will make it appear to be a poor week while a draw extends their unbeaten run to 11 games in all competitions.
