Liverpool have travelled to north London to face Tottenham Hostpur this afternoon.
The Reds have the chance to go four points clear at the top of the Premier League - with a game-in-hand - after Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw with Everton this afternoon.
Here are our player ratings so far:
Alisson Becker - 6
Really hasn't had much to do due to Tottenham's lack of bite in attack but his distribution is as good as ever, allowing Liverpool a serious base to build from.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - 10
He's having one of his classic 'untouchable' days today, being Liverpool's most consistent attacking threat whilst being basically unbeatable in defence. Spent the entire first half probing behind Spurs's back line with his trademark long passes and managed to find Luis Diaz's head with pinpoint accuracy for the opener.

Joe Gomez - 7
Spurs's attacks haven't exactly caused massive amounts of trouble, but Gomez has used his entire experience to ensure that his positioning and tackling have been second-to-none when required.
Virgil van Dijk - 7
Repeating what was said about Gomez, Liverpool's captain has been as dominant as ever. His ability to organise a defence and position himself is sublime to behold.
Andy Robertson - 7
Has been a welcome addition in his return to the team, with the only exception that Trent Alexander-Arnold is making Robertson's crosses look unfortunately average.
Ryan Gravenberch - 9
Gravenberch is the best defensive midfielder in the world right now. His ability to read play, intercept passes and drive Liverpool into attack is why this team is as good as they are. What a player.
Alexis Mac Allister - 8
The Argentinian has had a welcome return to the team, capitalising on a second ball mistake to put Liverpool 2-0 up. He did, however, lack a bit of concentration to lose the ball for James Maddison's late-stage goal.
Dominik Szoboszlai - 10
Ran the show throughout. Deservedly got his goal to make it 3-1 on the stroke of half-time, all stemming from his own workrate and willingness to open space for the right-sided players to run into. Has been a busy presence pressing and driving the ball throughout.

Cody Gakpo - 7
This doesn't mean that Gakpo has been particularly bad, just that the rest of the team have provided more potency in their roles. He has progressed the ball into Robertson and Diaz mainly which has been an effective tactic.
Mohamed Salah - 8
It's already easy to forget that Salah was the most dangerous figure on the pitch before Liverpool went 1-0 up. Should have had a goal with an alarmingly good bit of dribbling past centre-back Archie Gray, but got his assist for Szoboszlai making it 3-1.
Luis Diaz - 8
His ability to operate through the centre is tremendous for a natural wide player. He has drifted off Tottenham's centre-backs so well throughout, causing serious problems all game, and taking his headed goal from Alexander-Arnold's pass really well.
