Liverpool will welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield for their penultimate game of the Premier League season in a game that could decide which of the two teams gets to play in Europe next season. With Liverpool in amazing form and Spurs without a win in five games up to the Tuesday before this fixture, Harry Redknapp will be stressing the importance of this game.Liverpool won their last game by five goals to two taking Kuyt to nine goals in nine games and Maxi Rodriguez to 7 goals in just three which makes it hard for anyone to bet against Liverpool taking three points at home. With Luis Suarez lighting the Premier League up with his work rate and touch this game could be a classic that will stay in fans memories for seasons to come.
Spurs have struggled for wins lately and have not been more desperate to take three points at any point this season. That is not the sort of form they want to take to Anfield as they search for another season in Europe albeit the Europa league.Rafa Benitez’s Liverpool side appear to have turned the corner now after their awful start to the season. They have won three of the last four Premier League games, and have won the last two in succession, one a very impressive win at high flying Aston Villa. On Sunday Liverpool host Harry Redknapp’s much improved Tottenham side at Anfield in what is undoubtedly the game of the day in the English Premier League.
With aspirations of winning the title, Liverpool started the season in bullish mood, but that soon changed to an atmosphere of despondency around the hallowed halls of Anfield. Lurching from one bad result to another in the league, elimination from the Carling Cup and then the ignominy of being dumped out of the Champions League into the backwaters of the Europa Cup was all too much for some Scouse supporters to take, and the first mutterings against the stewardship of Rafa Benitez began to surface.
Nevertheless, the ship seems to have steadied of late and there is an air of renewed optimism at Anfield and two wins in succession, the most recent a marvellous win at Villa Park against high flying Aston Villa gave the fans something to shout about at last. The 1-0 win with a goal from Torres in injury time may just be that spark Liverpool needed to ignite their season.
