LONDON (Reuters) - Premier League leaders Liverpool meet Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday for the first time since a sultry June night in Madrid ended with Juergen Klopp's side crowned champions of Europe.

Since then the trajectories of the two clubs have been diametrically opposed. Liverpool have set a relentless pace at the top of the Premier League and Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham have stalled.

City can halve the gap to Liverpool when they host Aston Villa on Saturday, while the weekend's programme gets underway on Friday with third-placed Leicester City at Southampton. All sorts of theories have been presented as to why Tottenham have fallen away, including a Champions League hangover, a frustrating transfer window and even Pochettino becoming stale after working wonders to keep the north London club in the top four, four seasons in a row.

Liverpool at Anfield represent a far tougher proposition though, especially considering that Pochettino's record against them in all competitions since becoming Tottenham manager reads seven defeats, four draws and only one victory.
