Liverpool regained their place at the top of the Premier League table, as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday.
The Reds are chasing their first league title since 1990 but faces a tough competition from Manchester City, who are just two points behind them despite playing a game less than the Merseysiders.
