Liverpool
According to Paul Merson, a victory for Liverpool over Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday would be “huge.”

In addition, Paul Merson is not convinced by Gabriel jusus and Eddie Nketiah thinks Arsenal may need to make a January transfer for Brentford’s Ivan Toney.

It would be “massive” for Jurgen Klopp’s team, according to Paul Merson, if Liverpool defeated Tottenham on Saturday (live on Sky Sports).
Liverpool, who have won five and drawn one of their first six games, are currently ranked second in the Premier League, but they are still behind Manchester City, who have won six straight games.
Merson believes Liverpool would make a strong statement by winning three points at fourth-place Spurs, who are also unbeaten in the Premier League, as Pep Guardiola’s team has been in unrelenting form as they begin their title defense.
A Liverpool victory over Spurs would be enormous.
It would be a huge accomplishment if Liverpool defeated Tottenham the following week.
I don’t think they’ll lose, but going to Tottenham right now means you’re up against a very good team with good players.
In the opening 35 minutes against Arsenal, I thought Spurs played poorly. I believed it to be the same as watching the Spurs, who are coached by Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte. Gabriel Jesus completely missed a chance to make it 2-0, which would have changed the entire scenario.
After that, Tottenham continued to play the way they like to play, which is what I liked about them. I was really impressed.
I believed Arsenal would triumph handily, but Spurs came back from deficits of 1-0 and 2-1 when they usually would have given up and lost.
Give credit where it’s due.
They were exceptional in my opinion, and I now predict they will finish in the top four.
Destiny Udogie was exceptional.
He was up against one of the best wingers in the world, Bukayo Saka, and then received a booking so early in the game.
Ange Postecoglou, however, deserves praise.
I have faith in you, fullback.
It’s your job to defend one-on-one situations.
Stay on the field, he told him.
A manager would typically eject Saka from a match because you wouldn’t want him to receive a red card.
Fair play to the manager, though; Udogie did a great job.
Liverpool, meanwhile, still has a lot of work to do.
Manchester City is currently destroying the league by applying so much pressure to everyone.
What they are doing is amazing.
You just have to hang in there, which is why Liverpool is currently doing well. You need to take it one game at a time and avoid giving them an advantage.
The biggest advantage Liverpool has is that they can draw to Tottenham and Brighton over the next two weeks because they still have to play Man City twice – and they can beat Man City twice.
