Liverpool’s title dream may be over but the Reds return to Anfield looking to restore some pride in Jurgen Klopp’s penultimate home fixture as they take on top-four chasing Tottenham in the Premier League.
Klopp’s side have won just one of their five fixtures in the Premier League and a 2-2 draw at West Ham last weekend saw Liverpool surrender their title challenge for good as Arsenal and Manchester City continue to pull away. A touchline argument between Klopp and Mohamed Salah threatened to turn the German’s farewell sour but the manager insists that the dispute is over ahead of returning to Anfield.
Ange Postecoglou was left reeling after a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Thursday night, Tottenham’s third loss in a row, as Spurs look to close the gap to Aston Villa in the race for the final Champions League qualification spot. The Tottenham manager was furious with his players at Stamford Bridge and is now under some pressure for the first time after admitting his team lacked “conviction and belief” in his plans.
Can Spurs respond at Anfield, or will Liverpool return to form now the pressure of the title race is behind them?
In a parting shot at broadcaster TNT Sports, Klopp declared that he will never watch the channel again in the future and told them to remove him from their list of subscribers. The Liverpool manager criticized the scheduling of their games at 12.30pm on a Saturday, calling it a “crime” and highlighting the fast turnaround of matches his team has faced.
With both teams looking to bounce back from recent setbacks, the Liverpool vs Tottenham clash promises to be an intriguing battle at Anfield. Stay tuned for live updates and predictions as the match unfolds.
