Liverpool will face Tottenham next Sunday, 22nd, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, for the 17th round of the Premier League. The Reds are leading the competition with 36 points from 15 games – their match against Everton in the 15th round was postponed – while Spurs are in 10th place with 23 points.

The team led by Arne Slot is having a dream season so far. They are top of the Premier League with 36 points, having won 11 of their 15 games, and only one loss. In the Champions League, the situation is even better: six wins in six games, securing their place in the knockout stage of the tournament.
However, while the team previously didn’t need to worry about anyone – even opening an eight-point gap over the second-place team – the Reds are now starting to look in the rearview mirror. After two consecutive draws – 3-3 against Newcastle away and 2-2 against Fulham at Anfield – Chelsea has started to close the gap, and the distance is now only two points, despite the Blues having one more game played.
Enzo Maresca’s team is unbeaten in the last eight games, with their last loss being against Liverpool in the 8th round in October. Since then, they’ve had three draws and six consecutive wins. If the leaders slip up, the London team could temporarily take the lead in the competition by beating Everton away.
Tottenham, on the other hand, continues to have an inconsistent campaign and struggles to get closer to the leaders. In their last five games, they’ve had two wins, one draw, and two losses, which highlights the irregularity of Arne Postecoglou’s team. If they win, Spurs could climb to sixth place, but if they lose, they could drop to 14th. BBscore football your go-to place for football results.
