Preview: Tottenham Hotspur vs. Liverpool
Having previously been tipped for Premier League glory, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool find themselves on the periphery of the title-chasing pack as they prepare to lock horns in the capital on Thursday evening.
The two English powerhouses were neck-and-neck at the top of the table during the early stages of the campaign, but dismal spells of form have seen Spurs slip to fifth while Liverpool only just remain in the top four.
The hosts head into this game having enjoyed a 4-1 win over Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup, whereas Liverpool were dumped out in the fourth round by Manchester United in a thriller.
Monday’s thrashing of Wycombe means that Spurs have now tasted success in five of their last six matches across all competitions - scoring 18 goals and conceding just three in that run - but Mourinho still has his work cut out for him if Spurs are to mount another charge for a maiden Premier League title.
As the only team in the top 13 without a win in their last five league matches, Liverpool’s hard-earned crown is slowly slipping off amid their alarming goal drought.
A 1-0 home defeat to Burnley - their first top-flight defeat at Anfield since April 2017 - represented their fourth league game in a row without finding the back of the net, meaning that the Reds are suffering their worst goal drought for over 20 years.
This week’s fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium represents the first ever top-flight match between Liverpool and Spurs on a Thursday, and having managed to beat the Lilywhites on the other six days of the week, the Reds could follow in Everton and West Ham United’s footsteps by beating them on all seven should they prevail in the capital.
