Liverpool vs Tottenham LIVE: Spurs in Premier League Crisis as Igor Tudor Prepares for Anfield Test
The hosts are hoping to move into fifth place in the Premier League standings, while Tottenham bid for a potentially vital victory as the threat of relegation looms large over their season. Richard Jolly reports from Anfield alongside Jamie Braidwood, with the match scheduled for Sunday, 15 March 2026, at 14:03 GMT.
Igor Tudor Explains Spurs' Goalkeeper Decision and Admits 'Career First'
Liverpool take on Tottenham in the Premier League this afternoon, with the hosts aiming to climb into the top five as the visitors desperately try to stave off the looming threat of relegation. Arne Slot’s side begin the day in sixth position, level on points with Chelsea in the intense battle for a top-five finish. While some of Liverpool's recent performances—including losses to Wolves and Galatasaray—have not filled fans with optimism, everything remains up for grabs after Chelsea suffered a defeat to Newcastle yesterday.
At the opposite end of the table, Tottenham's situation is threatening to unravel completely. The remarkable 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid in midweek represents the latest episode in a scarcely believable saga that could ultimately end in relegation for the north London club. Igor Tudor’s side sat just one point above the drop zone at the beginning of the weekend, but with reports suggesting the club is already eyeing potential replacements for the Croatian manager, circumstances could deteriorate significantly before any improvement is seen.
Team News and Updates from Anfield
Follow all the latest build-up, team news, and live updates from Anfield below. Alisson could make a return for Liverpool after missing the defeat at Galatasaray due to injury, while Arne Slot also indicated that Federico Chiesa might be back in contention following illness. Slot provided an additional update on Alexander Isak, who is still managing his rehabilitation process and is hopeful of returning to action in the coming weeks.
Chris Wilson reported on 15 March 2026 at 14:06, detailing the Liverpool vs Tottenham live scenario. Igor Tudor is hoping for a drastic change in fortunes to save both his own position and Tottenham's Premier League status as the relegation-threatened giants travel to face Liverpool. Both teams return to domestic action following Champions League disappointment, with the Reds succumbing to a 1-0 defeat against Galatasaray in their last-16 first leg, while Spurs were once again embarrassed in a 5-2 thrashing by Atletico Madrid.
Liverpool will view the visit of an uninspired Tottenham side as the perfect opportunity to get back to winning ways, while Tudor is acutely aware that the walls are closing in on his interim tenure. A defeat at Anfield could see Tottenham, who have been winless throughout 2026, finally drop into the relegation zone. They entered the weekend merely one point ahead of Nottingham Forest and West Ham United below them.
