Liverpool, after losing hope of competing for the championship, will face an equally bad opponent in recent times, Tottenham. Victory at the present time has little value for The Kop but is necessary for Klopp’s teachers and students to regain their spirit. They only won 5 points in the last 5 rounds in the Premier League and were eliminated from the Europa League. But the situation can improve when Liverpool meets Tottenham in free fall.
Indeed, 3 consecutive defeats have left Tottenham with almost no chance of competing for the Champions League next season due to being 7 points behind Aston Villa (even though they played 1 match less). What is even more worrying is that in this final stage, Spurs played very poorly defensively, conceding 9 goals in the last 3 matches, the reason why they were easily subdued by their opponents. Now will be an opportunity for Liverpool’s strikers to make Tottenham suffer.
