Huge game to wrap up Premier League weekend
Tottenham host Premier League leaders Liverpool in a huge game on Sunday.
Spurs booked their spot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals – where they will play The Reds across two legs – by beating Manchester United 4-3 in dramatic fashion on Thursday night.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have now scored nine goals in their last two games, albeit quite how much can be taken from the 5-0 win over Southampton is up for debate.
Still, and while Spurs may not always fully convince, recent results have raised confidence.
Liverpool, however, present another challenge entirely.
While Arne Slot’s side are not looking quite as solid as they did at the start of the season, they are in control of the title race. Two points clear of Chelsea with a game in hand, Slot was able to rotate heavily for Wednesday’s 2-1 Carabao Cup win over the Saints.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Tottenham vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 4.30pm GMT kick-off time on Sunday 22 December 2024.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via the Sky Go app.

Options remain light for Spurs. They hope to welcome back Destiny Udogie for the game after he missed the United clash, while Timo Werner could return having sat it out due to illness.

Ben Davies, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Guglielmo Vicario are all expected to miss out through injury. Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended.
Liverpool will be without Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate. Andy Robertson could return from suspension, while all of Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa and Kostas Tsimikas stepped up their returns from fitness problems by playing on Wednesday.
Spurs have raised their game in some of the bigger matches this season but Liverpool look a step above.
