Liverpool vs Tottenham


What a few months can change in the Premier League landscape. Liverpool were flirting with the relegation zone while Tottenham were considering title contention both in the league and in the Champions League. The upcoming Liverpool v Tottenham Spurs match will decide who gets the consolation prize of ending 5th, something that neither team will be content with despite their patches of struggle in the 2010-2011 campaign.

Liverpool v Tottenham Spurs

Liverpool Team News & Stats
Liverpool stand in 5th place with 58 points. They’re in good form recently, having won 6 and lost 1 of their past 8 games. Playing at Anfield, the Reds have collected 18 points in 18 matches, including 4 wins in their last 5 played. It’s hard to argue with Liverpool’s performance as of late, especially at home where they haven’t lost this year. They’ve been scoring prolifically and have not felt the absence of Torres one bit as new signings Suarez and Carroll are coming along real nice in the Dalglish era. Rodriguez’s rise as a star is also something to take notice of with the Argentinian recording two hat tricks in a stretch of 3 weeks. A win against Tottenham would validate their recent surge of late and give them momentum heading into next year.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News & Stats
Tottenham Hotspur travel to Liverpool with a recent form where they have let in 9 goals and dropped 13 points in their past 5 matches away from White Hart Lane. Despite all the hooplah and commotion caused by Redknapp’s side this season, they will end their season in worse position than last year. By those standards, this season has to be considered a failure and the owners can’t be happy at missing out on the Champions League when it was so within their reach. With one win in their last 8 league matches, Tottenham have really brought this predicament onto themselves. A win against Liverpool would bring some morale back to a side that went from sky high to rock bottom quite rapidly over the past several weeks.
