Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard will be out for at least a month due to a hamstring injury he picked up in the 4-1 win over West Ham last Saturday. A scan that was performed on Monday confirmed that Gerrard will miss the busy Christmas period. Gerrard left the pitch early in the second half in the win at Anfield and joins Daniel Sturridge on Liverpool's injured list.
The injury problems come at a key moment for manager Brendan Rodgers and his team, as Liverpool visit Tottenham on Sunday, then Cardiff at home before trips to Manchester City and Chelsea before the end of the year. Liverpool are currently second in the Premier League, three points ahead of Spurs and one in front of City, but only ahead of Chelsea on goal difference.
Steven Gerrard has played in each of the Anfield club's 15 top-flight games this season and has contributed three goals. He has also provided six assists, tied with Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil as the most in the Premier League so far this season.
Tottenham versus Liverpool on Sunday will be a match that will shape the upper end of the Premier League table, here are the odds for the big game at SkyBet:
Tottenham win - 7/5
Draw - 23/10
Liverpool - 15/8
