Liverpool can still just about win the Premier League title and Tottenham can still just about finish in the top four. Can either team just about get three points today?
The Reds are back at Anfield for the penultimate time with Jurgen Klopp. Each game is now tinged with emotion as fans prepare to bid farewell to their most successful manager of modern times.
Klopp could yet finish his last season in England with a second Premier League title, but it’s fair to say that’s unlikely: his team would need to win their remaining three matches and hope Arsenal and Manchester City don’t win any of theirs. To put it another way, the Merseysiders will be officially out of the running if they do not defeat Spurs today.
Tottenham are clinging onto hope that they could still qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League, but that too is most unlikely, even if they are able to get all three points here at Anfield.

2 hours before kickoff: It’s a glorious day in England’s north west. Let’s hope the football is also a sight to behold. When these teams face one another, it usually is…
This Premier League clash takes place at Anfield in Liverpool, UK and kicks off on Sunday, May 5 at 4:30 p.m. BST (local time in the UK).
Here’s how that time translates across some of the major territories:
All eyes will be on whether or not Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp turns to Mohamed Salah following their argument on the touchline during last week’s frustrating draw against West Ham. The Egyptian attacker, who has been a talismanic figure for Liverpool this season, has been enduring a slump in form lately amid speculation of interest from Saudi Pro League clubs.
For Liverpool, Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara have been ruled out for the rest of the season. However, there’s a chance Cody Gakpo and Conor Bradley can return in some capacity this weekend.
Diogo Jota hasn’t trained this week so will miss out, while Klopp will make a late check on Virgil van Dijk, who has missed the majority of the team training in the build up.
Liverpool predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Alisson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson — Endo, Mac Allister, Gravenberch — Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.

Tottenham Hotspur, who are already without defender Destiny Udogie, have been dealt a fresh blow as defender Ben Davies (calf) and RB Leipzig loanee Timo Werner (hamstring) will also be out for the rest of the season with respective injuries.
Fraser Forster, Manor Solomon and Ryan Sessegnon remain long-term casualties. Out-of-form James Maddison was dropped for the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in midweek, but could come back into the starting XI here.
Tottenham predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Vicario (GK) — Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies — Bentancur, Sarr — Kulusevski, Maddison, Son — Richarlison.
Tottenham subs (9): TBC
Liverpool comfortably lead the all-time head to head between these teams. Their 2-1 defeat to Spurs in the reverse fixture was their only loss to the north London club in the past 13 meetings in all competitions.
