History of the Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur fixture

Liverpool prepare to entertain Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Reds are clearly on top, having won 41 and lost only 7 of the 67 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Anfield was just last season, in August 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
