Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool Preview

High flying Liverpool will travel to the capital this Sunday to play Tottenham in what promises to be an exciting game of football.

The hosts have not played a game since December fifth when they beat Norwich following an outbreak of COVID within their squad. With the COVID scare now behind them, Spurs will look to make up for lost time when they welcome Liverpool to London.

Antonio Conte’s side were on a four-game unbeaten run in the league before their enforced hiatus. They kept three clean sheets in those four PL games and were gaining some momentum before the virus hit.

After two weeks without action, Spurs enter this game as the outsiders. The North London side have some players still unavailable while the impact of the Covid will still be felt on the fitness of the returning players.

That should not be an excuse for the hosts who love playing at home having secured 18 of their 25 league points thus far on home turf. With a place in the top four still open for the taking, Conte will be desperate to pick up maximum points in this game and put the pressure on Arsenal in fourth.

Meanwhile, Liverpool travel to London in impeccable form. The Reds have won their last eight competitive games in all competitions, keeping five clean sheets in that period.

Their last outing saw them come from behind to beat Newcastle. That result means that the distance between Liverpool and Manchester City remains just one point, making the title race look like a two-horse race.

With Man City likely to win against struggling Newcastle in their own weekend fixture, Jürgen Klopp’s men will hope to pick up maximum points in this game to avoid dropping further down the table.
