Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has hailed Monday night's Premier League opponents Tottenham Hotspur as 'as good as anyone in the league'.

The Reds welcome Spurs to Anfield for an important fixture for both sides, with Liverpool eager to strengthen their bid for a top-four finish, while the Londoners still have realistic title aspirations.

Liverpool are 2.05 to take all three points on home turf, with the draw 3.40, while Spurs are 3.80 to secure victory in a game which should see striker Luis Suarez return to action for the hosts after a lengthy absence.

Dalglish said: "They are one of the better teams in the Premier League. They had a difficult start, lost to Manchester United and got beat 5-1 at home by Manchester City when Harry Redknapp was still getting a few players back.

"But since then they have been fantastic in the way they have played and the teams they have beaten. They've kicked on and have been as good as anyone in the league.

"It is a difficult game for us, but we are looking forward to it and we'll give it a go."

Liverpool's chances will be further boosted by the likely return of skipper Steven Gerrard in midfield, with the England international still working his way back to full match fitness after an ankle infection.

The Reds will also be hoping to exact some revenge for a 4-0 drubbing at White Hart Lane earlier this season.
