Paul Merson: My prediction for Liverpool v Tottenham clash
LIVERPOOL will draw 1-1 with Tottenham at Anfield, according to Paul Merson.
Paul Merson can't separate Liverpool and Tottenham
Liverpool take on Tottenham at Anfield on Saturday (5.30pm).
The Reds are currently in free fall and have not won for five Premier League games - slipping to fifth in table.
Spurs are in fine form and have won seven of their last 10 and are nine points off league leaders Chelsea.
However, despite their gulf in form, Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson thinks they are an equal match and will see out a 1-1 draw.

"This is a big game for both these sides' respective seasons," Merson told Sky Sports.
"Liverpool are out of the title race now and they've done an Arsenal, going out of everything in the space of two weeks.
"If they're not careful they could be out of the race for the top four - they have to win!
"A Tottenham defeat would more or less hand the title to Chelsea but could put Spurs' own aspirations at risk.
"If they lose and the other teams win, all of a sudden they're in a battle for the top four.
"It can change that quickly. Liverpool have to win and Tottenham have to make sure they don't lose, with that in mind I see Spurs denting Liverpool's season further."
