Reeling contenders Liverpool FC (13-4-7, 46 points) will try to get out of their current rut as they host fellow powerhouse squad Tottenham Hotspur FC (14-2-8, 50 points) at the Anfield on Feb. 11, Saturday as the 2016-2017 Premier League season continues.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 12:30 p.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Liverpool has been winless in five straight games, including two losses and three draws, which dropped them to the fifth spot of the league table from as high as the second spot. They now hold the Europa League qualifying berth for next season and are one point behind fourth-place team Arsenal for the final Champions League spot.
In their most recent fixture last Saturday, the Reds succumbed to a stunning 0-2 upset loss to newly-promoted side Hull City on the road at the KCOM Stadium for their second defeat in the last three rounds, as per the Mirror.
Liverpool gave up one goal in each half of play with Senegalese midfielder Alfred N'Diaye netting the opening goal in the 44th minute while compatriot forward Oumar Niasse doubled the hosts' lead in the 84th.
Head coach Jürgen Klopp's star-studded squad failed to respond even with a single goal during the contest as the team has only scored one goal in their last three games.
Meanwhile, Tottenham nipped another newly-promoted team, Middlesbrough FC, at their home ground of White Hart Lane also last Saturday, The Guardian reported.
English striker Harry Kane scored the winning goal of the match for head coach Mauricio Pochettino's side with a converted penalty kick in the 58th minute off a foul by Middlesbrough defender Bernardo Espinosa on Spurs winger Son Heung-min.
The win snapped Tottenham's two-game winless skid as the team remained in the second spot in the overall standings, nine points behind current league leaders Chelsea and only one point ahead of third-place team Manchester City.
