Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday 10th March 2013 (KO 16:00) in the 29th round of matches in the 2012-13 Premier League season.​
​
Liverpool come into the match in 7th place on 42 points, while Spurs are in 3rd place on 54 points.

This will be the 164th time the two clubs have met.

The first meeting came on Boxing Day in 1894 when Liverpool, who had been established just two years earlier after a dispute with Everton, played a friendly at Tottenham Marshes in a game won 3-0 by Spurs. A further visit from Liverpool was even less successful in Easter 1895 with Spurs winning 6-0.

The first Football League meeting between the two clubs took place at White Hart Lane in November 1909 with Spurs winning 1-0 thanks to a Bert Middlemiss goal. He became the first Spurs player to score against both Merseyside clubs.

The reverse fixture that season was won by Liverpool 2-0 at Anfield, which had previously been the home of Everton before their move to Goodison Park.

All 139 League meetings played to date between Spurs & Liverpool have taken place in the Top Flight of English football.

Tottenham's 2-1 First Division win at Anfield in March 1912 would be their last at the ground for 73 years with the jinx finally being broken by a Garth Crooks goal in 1-0 win in March 1985.

The first FA Cup meeting came in the 5th Round in March 1968 and resulted in a 1-1 draw at the Lane. Liverpool won the replay 2-1.

To date, the clubs have met 7 times in the competition with Tottenham's only win coming at Anfield in the 6th Round in March 1995 when goals from Teddy Sheringham and Jurgen Klinsmann earned a 2-1 victory.

The teams first met in the Football League Cup in 1972 and have played 7 times in the competition with Spurs winning four games with two draws.

Liverpool's only win came in the 1982 Final at Wembley which was won 3-1 after extra time. Steve Archibald put Spurs ahead but Ronnie Whelan's brace and a goal from Ian Rush ensured that the Reds lifted the silverware.

The teams contested the Charity Shield in August that year with League Champions Liverpool beating FA Cup Winners Spurs 1-0.

Liverpool are one of three English clubs Spurs have played in European Competitions to date - the other being Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Spurs beat Liverpool in the 1973 UEFA Cup Semi-Final 2-1 with a brace of goals from Martin Peters but a 1-0 win to Liverpool in the second leg at Anfield meant that the Reds progressed to the Final on the away goals rule.

Two matches were played in Swaziland in June 1984 reulting in a 5-2 win for Liverpool and a 1-1 draw.

In December 1985 and January 1986 the clubs met in the Screen Sport Super Cup - a competition played due to English club's being barred from European competition - with Liverpool winning both matches 2-0.

Both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur were founder-members of the Premier League in season 1992-93 and are two of the seven clubs who have been ever-present in the competition for the past 21 seasons (Woolwich, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton and Manchester United are the other five).

The home fixture at White Hart Lane in November 2010 resulted in a 2-1 win for Spurs. Liverpool went ahead just before halftime with a goal from Martin Skrtel but Spurs came back in the second half with an own goal from Skrtel after 65 minutes and an injury-time winner from Aaron Lennon.

The reverse fixture at Anfield in May 2011 proved to be the UEFA Europa League decider with Spurs winning 2-0 with goals from Rafael van der Vaart and a Luka Modric penalty.

The game at White Hart Lane in September 2011 was won 4-0 by Spurs with goals from Luka Modric, Jermain Defoe and a brace from new loan signing Emmanuel Adebayor. Liverpool had both Charlie Adam and Martin Skrtel sent-off. The match at Anfield in February 2012 finished in a goalless draw, as did a tour match played in Baltimore, USA in July 2012.

Tottenham beat Liverpool in November 2012 at White Hart Lane 2-1. Aaron Lennon put Spurs ahead after 7 minutes and Gareth Bale added a second 9 minutes later from a free kick. In the second half, Bale deflected into his own net after 72 minutes.

Liverpool have won 17 of the 41 Premier League matches played so far with Spurs on 13 wins and 11 games drawn.

Overall, Liverpool have the upper hand over Spurs with 73 wins to 49 with 41 of the 162 matches played so far drawn.

1-1 Bale and Suarez. The game to be dubbed the game 'of the one men teams' by dickheads on twitter.
 
This is a massive massive game, but then again aren't they all. Liverpool will have the fitness advantage with us playing Inter tomorrow night. But hopefully a win against the Italians will give us the boost and momentum we need to carry us through. I'm hoping that Liverpool's "form" is more symptomatic of the teams they have been playing rather than a sign of their actual improvements. Our defence is significantly better than either Norwich or Wigan for example. Not that we won't need to be on out guard.

I think the importance of this match can be put down to the negative spiral that AVB spoke about on sunday night, with Woolwich not playing this weekend, the psychological implications could be pretty big, with the Woolwich squad sitting down to watch the match on Sunday afternoon it would be delicious torture for them to have to watch us further stretch our lead over them, impotent to do anything about it. And with Chelsea almost certain to be at the hands of a vengeful United on the weekend, the same could be said of them.

Yup bin dippers are everywhere. Got a bet with my brother in law that we will finish above then this year too so doing the double over then will be a good niggle for that.
 
Seeing as we're Liverpool fans most hated enemy at the moment (when the fuck did that happen?) I'd hate to lose this one, but I agree I can see the traditional blip happening right about now. I have faith, but I'm still nervous. A point wouldn't be bad at all.
 
It happened when we took their place in the top 4.

The one they thought was their god given right and let slip, while we worked our socks off to break in.

Then we poured salt in the wound by having the audacity to not only compete with them on the field, and win, but compete with them in the transfer market, and also win.

Its like a girl who throws herself at you, gets rejected, and then starts cursing you. The whole issue is hers, she couldnt handle the fact she didnt have enough to interest you.

Both us and City were on the up while Liverpool were heading into a nosedive, but they think City are too far for them to catch, so hate us instead.
 
Every one hates us. We are West Ham's big derby, obviously Woolwich and apparently Chelsea fans see us as a bigger derby than Fulham. Liverpool just don't like us because we took their spot in the top 4 and have since pipped them to the post in the transfer market.

We also had the cheek to beat them at home with less than 50% possession.
