Liverpool news: Sky Sports pundit makes surprise Tottenham prediction
Tottenham head to Anfield on Sunday (4.30pm) on the back of a 2-0 victory against Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will be hoping to pick up from where they left off against Huddersfield where they emerged 3-0 winners.
But Sherwood thinks it will be a tricky tie for the hosts and has backed his former side to come out on top.
That is despite Spurs having only won one match in their last 20 against teams from the top six of the Premier League.
