In the passionate English Premier League, a life and death battle for European qualification is about to take place, with Liverpool hosting the visiting Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool's injury situation has been alleviated, and the players' form has rebounded, with the momentum of impacting the European qualification. Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, have had two coaching changes recently, which has demoralized their players and caused them to drop in the league standings. The Spurs are playing on the road and have little hope of winning. Liverpool's last five home games have been good, with four wins and a draw, a steady performance, and a home win has become a confident choice for many fans. (Now 621 and 611 Sunday night at 11:30pm)
With the return of strikers such as Diego Costa and Luis Diaz from injury, Liverpool's attacking power has been restored and their recent results have rebounded. They first beat Leeds United 6-1, then Nottingham Forest 3-2, and then turned back Westham 2-1 in the midweek fast-break game, winning three consecutive victories and climbing up to the seventh place in the league. However, they still need to continue to accumulate points in order to achieve their goal of qualifying for Europe.
Liverpool are firing on all cylinders, with Mohamed Salah on a goal-scoring streak that has taken him past the legendary Kenny Dalglish, Diego Costa in better and better form since his comeback, and Davin Cavani and Gabriel Fekir continuing to play consistently as the team goes all out to make a push for a place in Europe. This crucial clash with Tottenham means a six-pointer for Liverpool and the desire to win is self-evident.
However, Tottenham's backline made frequent errors, which certainly added to the unpredictability of the game.
