Player to Watch for Tottenham: Rafael Van Der Vaart

Van Der Vaart has been nursing a hamstring injury. It was expected to sideline this powerful striker for this match. However, according to ESPN, he will be ready to go against Liverpool.

The injury led to the Spurs keeping him off the Europa League squad. In the above linked article, Van Der Vaart let it be known that that decision annoyed him. Expect him to be bent on proving the Spurs wrong for keeping him off that squad with a sizzling match against Liverpool.

Player to Watch for Liverpool: Luis Suarez

Suarez stock is soaring right now. The young 24-year-old has grown into his own and is a force on the pitch.

He already has two goals in just three Premier League games, one of which was a huge score to lead Liverpool past Arsenal.

Key Matchup: Luis Suarez vs. Brad Friedel

Brad Friedel has been solid in the goal for Tottenham. He is going to have his work cut out for him in this one.

Suarez has been breaking down defenses with ease. He is getting plenty of chances and is excellent at converting them. Friedel will have to be on top of his game if he wants to keep Suarez from finding the net.

What They're Saying: 

Here is Van Der Vaart on being left off of the Europa League squad, as quoted on goal.com:

"

"I still think it's a peculiar situation.

"Spurs could at least have consulted me. Anyway it's up to the point of no return. I will be focusing on the game against Liverpool.

"I'm pretty convinced I will be fit by then thanks to Dick van Toorn."
