Jose Mourinho will be looking to put a minor dent in Liverpool's Premier League title procession as Jurgen Klopp's leaders head to Tottenham on Saturday.
It would take something monumental for Liverpool to be denied a first League title since 1990, but Mourinho would love to wreck Liverpool's hopes of matching Arsenal's 'Invincibles' season.
Date: Saturday, January 11th, 2020
Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London.
Kick-off time: 5:30pm GMT
Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool
Klopp's visitors are heavy favourites for a reason, especially with Tottenham's growing injury list - but these are the games which Mourinho lives for.
Expect a few tactical tricks, and a tight game in north London.

Team news
Tottenham: Moussa Sissoko is out with a knee injury until April, adding to Mourinho's selection headache. That will force a midfield rethink, while the Spurs coach could be tempted by a 3-5-2 formation.
Injury list: Hugo Lloris (elbow), Harry Kane (hamstring), Tanguy Ndombele (groin), Ben Davies (ankle), Moussa Sissoko (knee), Danny Rose (calf)
Liverpool: Klopp has been boosted by the return of Joel Matip and Xherdan Shaqiri, though Dejan Lovren is a doubt. Injuries to James Milner and Naby Keita also leave the Reds a little light in midfield.
Injury list: Naby Keita (groin), Nathaniel Clyne (knee), James Milner (hamstring), Fabio Tavares (ankle)

Tottenham XI: Gazzaniga; Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen; Aurier, Winks, Eriksen, Dele Alli, Sessegnon; Lucas, Son
Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Lallana, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane
