Preview
Liverpool return to action in the Premier League this Sunday, with the Merseyside giants keen on returning to winning ways in Jurgen Klopp's final few games in charge at Anfield. However, the English giants will face a tough test as they welcome Tottenham to their iconic stadium in a highly-anticipated 11:30 a.m. ET showdown.
While Jurgen's men are mathematically still in the Premier League title race, Liverpool's hopes of lifting the trophy in Klopp's final season are dead. The club were in the mix for a historic quadruple only a few months ago but a horrendous dip in form has cost the Reds three titles.
First came the FA Cup quarterfinal exit against Manchester United, with Salah and Co. squandering several opportunities before losing 4-3 after extra time. Liverpool's UEFA Europa League hopes were then dashed, with the Merseyside giants losing 3-1 to Atalanta in the quarterfinals. Then came last Saturday's 2-2 draw at West Ham, with the Hammers hammering in the final nail in the coffin for their Premier League title chase.
Goals from Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio meant the Carabao Cup champions left the London Stadium with a single point while rivals Arsenal and Manchester City pulled ahead in the title race. Now, with only three games left to go, Liverpool find themselves seven points behind the Cityzens and eight behind the Gunners – the North London giants have played a game extra.
That West Ham draw was merely one slip-up among a host of poor results, with Salah and Co. winning only one of their last five league matches, with that sole victory being the 3-1 triumph away to Fulham. During this run, the Reds lost to Crystal Palace and Everton while drawing with Manchester United and the Hammers.
Despite this, the hosts will be fueled by desire for revenge after what happened when these two sides met earlier in the season. Back in late September, Liverpool lost 2-1 against the North London side in a game marred by one of the worst VAR blunders in history as Luis Diaz saw a legitimate goal ruled out for offside by the officials and VAR due to human error. Will the home side get payback?
Tottenham, on the other hand, are reeling from a string of poor results of their own. Spurs enter this fixture on the back of two gutting London derby defeats, losing at home to Arsenal in the North London derby before being beaten away to Chelsea in their subsequent tie.
Against the Gunners, Ange Postecoglou's side found themselves 3-0 down by half time and while second-half goals from Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min nearly completed the comeback, the Lilywhites still left that game with their reputation tarnished.
The defeat at Stamford Bridge, however, was straightforward, with goals from Trevor Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson condemning Tottenham to a convincing 2-0 loss. As a result, Son and Co. appear destined to miss out on UEFA Champions League football for the second season running.
Spurs are currently fifth in the table but trail fourth-placed Aston Villa by seven points. Tottenham do have a game in hand but that would not be enough to overturn the deficit even if the North London side were to win that match. As a result, the visitors must triumph at Anfield at all cost.
Postecoglou's men have a handful of issues to address, however, if they wish to claim the three points. First is their set-piece woes, with Tottenham conceding from these situations at an alarming rate. Against Arsenal, the visitors conceded twice from a corner kick. A few days later, Spurs conceded another two goals from set pieces in their 2-0 loss to Chelsea.
Additionally, the North London outfit have a dreadful record at Anfield, last winning at that iconic stadium in May 2011. Last season, the club, then under the helm of interim manager Ryan Mason, came back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 in stoppage time in Liverpool's backyard before conceding the winning goal a minute later to lose 4-3. Sunday presents Spurs with an opportunity at redemption and they must seize it to salvage their season.
Team news
Liverpool: Joel Matip, Ben Doak, Thiago, and Bobby Clark are all unavailable for the remainder of the campaign. Additionally, Virgil van Dijk is a doubt but Conor Bradley and Diogo Jota should overcome their respective fitness issues in time for this fixture.
Tottenham: Spurs will be without Timo Werner and Ben Davies for the rest of the season, with the duo joining Ryan Sessegnon, Manor Solomon, Destiny Udogie, and Fraser Forster on the treatment table. Meanwhile, James Maddison has failed to impress since returning from injury while Postecoglou has a choice to make between playing Son or Richarlison down the middle.
Key stats
-
Liverpool are unbeaten in all but one of their last 29 Premier League encounters with Tottenham at Anfield (W19, D9).
-
A win on Sunday would see Spurs complete the league double over the Reds for the first time since 2010-11.
-
However, that league double came when Liverpool had gone through two different managers in one season (Roy Hodgson then Kenny Dalglish). The last time Tottenham pulled off the double against one Liverpool manager was in 1986-87.
-
Klopp's men have conceded the opening goal in 16 Premier League games this season, which is their worst record since 2004-05.
