Liverpool take on Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday in what is essentially a dead rubber for the Reds.
Having seen Spurs lose to Chelsea on Thursday – their third defeat in a row – Liverpool have now officially qualified for the 2024/25 season.

However, it cannot be argued that Liverpool are in championship winning form right now.
And with that in mind, Carragher gave Tottenham-based podcast An Echo of Glory his prediction for Sunday’s game.
“I am going to go 2-1 [to Liverpool].
