Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur: Match Preview, Latest Team News and Score Prediction | OneFootball

Liverpool Poised for Premier League Glory Against Stuttering Tottenham

Liverpool’s journey under Arne Slot has brought them to the brink of Premier League glory. Sunday’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur isn’t just another fixture – it’s the moment the red half of Merseyside has been waiting for. With a superior goal difference and a game in hand on Arsenal, only a single point is needed to confirm Liverpool as champions.

Slot’s side have combined resilience, tactical clarity and individual brilliance throughout the season, and now stand on the cusp of their 20th top-flight crown. The Dutchman has rotated shrewdly, relied on squad depth, and maintained focus through a relentless campaign.

Tottenham Teetering on the Edge

While Liverpool prepare the confetti, Tottenham arrive in turmoil. Ange Postecoglou’s men have stumbled into Anfield off the back of consecutive defeats to Wolves and Nottingham Forest. More worryingly, their trajectory suggests a possible finish as low as 17th – an unthinkable outcome for a side that harboured top-four ambitions.

Postecoglou’s early optimism has been eclipsed by inconsistency and vulnerability, particularly away from home. Injuries haven’t helped. While Kevin Danso’s return offers some encouragement, Radu Dragusin is ruled out and the potential absence of Heung-min Son – who has missed the last three matches with a foot issue – leaves Tottenham dangerously short of firepower.

As it stands, only a sharp tactical rethink or inspired individual display can prevent a third successive Premier League defeat.

Title in Sight, Squad Nearly Intact

Arne Slot heads into this crucial encounter with the benefit of a near-fully fit squad. The only major absentee remains Joe Gomez, whose availability for the remainder of the season is uncertain. But otherwise, Liverpool boast a settled, confident line-up ready to handle the pressure of expectation.

A return to Anfield for a potential title-clincher adds another layer to the occasion. The crowd will undoubtedly play its part in generating the kind of atmosphere that makes the stadium one of football’s most feared fortresses.
