Ahead of their EFL Cup semi-final showdown, Tottenham Hotspur host Liverpool in a blockbuster Premier League fixture in North London this Sunday.
Spurs made history at St Mary’s, scoring five first-half goals in a Premier League match for the first time ever, effectively sealing Russell Martin’s fate. Despite this dominant performance, they remain mid-table, five points adrift of the Champions League spots.
Facing Manchester United and Liverpool in the same week is a massive test for any team. This week on Soccer Betting News, England football expert Nigel Naicker discussed the upcoming clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
When asked if there is any chink in the Liverpool defense, Naicker said, “If there is any weakness in this Liverpool team, I would say it’s down that left hand side with Robertson [unavailable due to suspension]. A bit unlucky with his challenge last week, but he was a bit brash to get that red card. But yeah, I think Ange would be targeting that.”
Looking at the visitors, one of the biggest threats looming is Mo Salah, who’s in incredible form at 32.The Merseyside hitman currently leads the Premier League scoring charts with thirteen strikes to his name this season. His attacking prowess is a major concern for Spurs, especially given their sometimes leaky home defense.
