The Premier League title race might be the second-most contentious battle in football this year. While Liverpool is trying to keep stride with Man City, Spurs are locked in a fight for top-four, and thus a place in next year’s Champions League. Both teams need every point they can muster, which is why this will be one of the best matches this season.

Losing is not an option for Liverpool on Sunday. Manchester City plays Fulham on Saturday, and if they win they’ll be back in first place, one point ahead of the Reds before kickoff in Anfield. City has a game in hand thanks to the English schedule, which means the shadow of Pep Guardiola’s one-point advantage will be chasing Jurgen Klopp’s title challenge over the next month. Beating Spurs is crucial to keep the pressure on the champions and taking the lead for another weekend, so three points are the only acceptable outcome for Liverpool fans, coaches and players.
But it won’t be easy. After an embarrassing home loss to this same Liverpool team earlier this season, Tottenham has recovered in dominant fashion, staying close to the leaders throughout the brutal winter schedule and expected to finish the season strong in third place while they try to knock out Guardiola’s City in the Champions League quarterfinals. Winning at Anfield will be a huge boost to Mauricio Pochettino’s boys ahead of that European battle, and Spurs gave Liverpool all they could handle in what was an amazing 2-2 draw at Anfield last season.
These two teams never disappoint when they face each other, and we’re in for a treat on Sunday. Not only will the game be amazing, but the result will give us a pretty good idea about who will be the Premier League champions.
