Liverpool face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday as they look for a return to winning ways in the Premier League.
The Reds have drawn their last two league matches, resulting in them being reeled in to within two points of Chelsea in second-place.
It will not be an easy game away to Spurs, with Ange Postecoglou’s side having scored nine goals over the past two games.
Liverpool lost on their last visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, the Reds generally have a good record against Spurs. One loss in 15 matches and two in 25 is remarkable, really.
After what happened with the infamous Luis Diaz VAR incident in North London last season, the Liverpool squad will be out for revenge.
And according to former Spurs striker Darren Bent, they really should get it on Sunday.

At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium the Reds also have a good record. Since visiting for the first time in 2019/20, the Reds have won three, drawn one and lost one of five meetings.
They will be hoping to extend that winning record at the weekend and speaking to TalkSPORT, Bent explained why he thinks Arne Slot’s team will ‘carve through Tottenham’.
“I just think Liverpool have got so much more control with what they are doing under Arne Slot and their attacking quality on the pitch,” said the former striker.
“I just think Liverpool will have too much for them, because they’ll make sure they’re in good shape, good situation and then the attacking players they’ve got, with the gaps that Spurs leave, they will absolutely carve through Tottenham.”
