"This is another tough game". Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Tottenham vs Liverpool

Tottenham are preparing to host Liverpool in the Premier League on Thursday, January 28. The Reds have endured a difficult time as they are currently without a win in their last 5 league games. Meanwhile, Spurs celebrated a 3-1 win over Sheffield United in their last league game. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction. "Liverpool were much better in Sunday's FA Cup tie against Manchester United. Yes, they lost, but Mohamed Salah was back among the goals and there seemed to be more energy about the whole side. "They looked a bit more like their old selves in midfield and attack and manager Jurgen Klopp will take lots of encouragement from the way they played. "This is another tough game for them, although I would be surprised if it is as open as Sunday's game was - Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is hardly going to throw everything at Liverpool, regardless of their poor form. "I do not think a draw would be a disaster for either side but, for Liverpool in particular, it is important they do not lose." Lawrenson's score prediction: 1-1  source - BBC
