Liverpool will aim for their fourth consecutive win when they host Tottenha, for the next home fixture in the Premier League. The Reds have been brilliant across all competitions over the last few weeks. A win in the next match will give them a better chance to dethrone Man City from the top of the table, momentarily at least.
Fresh from booking their place in a third Champions League final in the last five seasons, Jurgen Klopp’s side play their penultimate home game of an unforgettable campaign against a team with plenty riding on the fixture themselves.
Liverpool continue to be in the hunt for a stunning quadruple triumph. But standing in their way at Anfield will be a Tottenham team buoyed by a confident win over Leicester last time out, keeping them right in the hunt for a top-four finish.
Form Guide: Liverpool
The Reds defeated Newcastle 1-0 on the road in their most recent Premier League match. Then they won the second leg of the Champions League semifinal against Villarreal by a score of 2-3 on the road. They also have a six-game winning run and have scored two or more goals in 20 of their previous 24 home games.
Liverpool are on the verge of making history. They’ve qualified for the Champions League final and have ticket for the FA Cup final. With the Carabao Cup already in their possession, all that remains is for them to ensure that they surpass Manchester City in the Premier League title chase.
They are currently ranked second in the table, one point behind defending champions and table toppers, the Citizens.
Form Guide: Tottenham
Tottenham are currently fifth in the table, just two points behind fourth-placed Arsenal will only add to the intrigue of this match-up. Tottenham are entangled in a similarly enticing battle, albeit for the European places, as a positive result here would set up the ultimate showdown in their next match when they face off against their main top four and North London rivals Arsenal.
Tottenham currently have three wins in their previous five fixtures with just a defeat and a draw in that time. They have bounced back to winning ways after the stellar performance against Leicester and Conte would be looking to emulate that success at Anfield today.
With his side not conceding any goals on their travels in the past fixtures, he sure would fancy himself a chance at three points today.
How the game could go
This is not a match many Liverpool fans will be looking forward to; Spurs have the tools to expose Liverpool’s few weaknesses, and if the Reds do get their high line wrong against Kane and Son then they will be punished more severely than against most teams.
Most of Liverpool’s dropped points this season have come in the more frantic games – something Spurs will look to make it having beaten Man City in similar fashion, particularly as they realistically need the win themselves.
However, it is impossible to look past Liverpool’s recent record of 40 points from the last 42 available in the Premier League, and they proved again in midweek that they have a welcome habit of finding a way to get the job done.
