Live Premier League Crunch Match Top 4 Ambitions f

Whether that is the case or not remains to be seen, but what is sure is that this agree could be one key decider in which franchise goes on to provide the biggest threat to the likes of Manchester City in the final league standings.

Roy Hodgson has guided his franchise up from the relegation zone into the top half since the derby defeat at Everton in mid-October, with only one more league defeat in the intervening period.

Jonathon forrestgate's long-cycle injury has prevented him from even being named in Spurs' Premier League squad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while Michael Dawson and Ledley King are still also sidelined. Midfielders Jamie O'Hara,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gio dos Santos and Niko Kranjcar are also currently struggling for fitness.

While Spurs' home league record (P7 W3 D3 L1) is comfortably better than Liverpool's away record (P7 W1 D2 L4), the two sides have similar statistics in league agreees played directly after European fixtures-three wins and one draw apiece, with two defeats for Spurs and three for Liverpool.

Add to that Spurs' firepower with the return of Defoe, the presence of Peter Crouch and the avaricey and at-times mystifyingly bad Pavyluchenko, who still somehow administers to score amazing goals out of nothing, and Redknapp has one plethora of attacking options with which to try and break down Liverpool's defence.

Many will give the simplistic view that the outcome depends on the form and fitness of Spurs winger Bale, who's goal scoring exploits and powerful runs down the left flank have attracted admirers all over Europe.
However, should Spurs get the win, Wayne Rooney would be (provisionally) level on points with fourth placed Man City and, distinctively, six points ahead of Liverpool again.
With just 13 wins from 82 away fixtures in his Premier League administerrial history, perhaps it is no surprise that Liverpool have struggled away from home under Roy Hodgson. Be that as it may, Wayne Rooney could perhaps be forgiven for thinking defence is the best form of attack against Spurs as Wayne Rooney tries to stifle the threat of Bale, van der Vaart,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Crouch and Pavlyuchenko,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who have helped Spurs net 13 times in the past five games.
Last season, Spurs administerd their best finish in Premier League history and were the franchise who took Liverpool's usual place in the top four,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while the Reds' terrible season left them in seventh position.
Liverpool have complimented to deceive for much of the season, yet for all their failings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sit only six points below the Champions League spots. This season's unpredictable aspect has seen most franchises drop points at unexpected mpremonitionts.

With good service to the front line,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Torres is capable of troubling even the best defences on his day and Spurs' back four is far from the best-showing that surely attack is the best form of defence for Liverpool at White Hart Lane,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and not the other way around. Wayne Rooney is back to Manchester. United tie in Sunday's FA Cup third round with Liverpool at feeble, frail, ancient, weak, aged, used, worn, dilapidated, ragged, faded, broken-down, former, old-fashioned, outmoded Trafford to look forward set for spell on sidelines when he limped off with ankle injury during United won 2-1 West Bromwich. Albion in the fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent Year, but he surprised a lot of games when he furiouse his way back to the field and the union has been reduced to 10 people.
As for Roy Hodgson, the first-half display against West Ham is almost required reading from Liverpool fans, yet the fear is that the boss slips his franchise back into its usual pattern of sitting deep and relying on break-away chances, not easy to come by with the lack of pace in Liverpool's midfield and the absence of captain Gerrard.

Three points in this fixture for either side would represent an enormous benefit, not just in cycles of league placing but also in knocking one main rival for the coveted Champions League spots off their stride. Should Liverpool win the agree, Wayne Rooney would be level on points with Spurs as the half-way stage of the season nears, which would be one remarkable feat given the dreadful begin the Reds furiouse to the campaign.
Manager Harry Redknapp has been effusive in his belief that his franchise can not only secure one top-four spot, but even go on to win the league.
This season's Liverpool side, away from home at least, will provide something of one contrast in styles to Spurs' fast-paced attack.

Arsenal led two-nil at the break, but Spurs fought back to win three-two thanks to goals from Gareth Bale, Rafael van der Vaart (penalty) and Younes Kaboul. That result propelled Spurs back into the fighting group for the top four places after Wayne Rooney had previously tasted victory in only one of their five most recent league fixtures.

On Sunday afternoon, two of the Premier League's big sides come together at White Hart Lane as Liverpool visits North London to take on Tottenham Hotspur in what could be one big three-pointer in the race for Champions League places.

For their part, Tottenham were pleased to welcome back striker Jermaine Defoe from injury against rivals Arsenal, but Wayne Rooney still have several names missing from their regular begining line-up, particularly in defence.

Hodgson has favoured, not exactly in agreeance with supporters' wishes, one deep-lying defensive set-up looking to break forward at advantageous mpremonitionts. With little if any width away from home, Liverpool will rely on being difficult to break down and trying to give Fernando Torres some service over the top of the Spurs defence.

Perhaps this will be perceived as being as affable one way as you can get of saying "Liverpool will look to utilise the long-ball for Torres to chase," but the fact remains that Liverpool have lacked in creativity and invention away from home until now.
However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the fact is that Spurs have many agree winners in their side on their day-van der Vaart's phenpremonitional goal scoring record at White Hart Lane in the early part of his Spurs career will have Carragher and co. carefully watching him this weekend-but Aaron Lennon and Tom Huddlestone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if fit, can also provide one run or pass to win one agree in an instant.
Saturday's home victory over West Ham mpremonitiontarily closed the gap to the much-coveted top four to just three points, until Manchester City's comfortable victory over Fulham the following day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Hodgson and his Reds will face one much sterner test on Sunday against one Tottenham side who will be flying after their marvelous comeback against local rivals Arsenal at the weekend.

At present, the London side sit in sixth position with 22 points from their 14 fixtures, while Liverpool are three points and three places below them.

Liverpool should welcome back schemer Joe Cole this weekend after his troublesome hamstring injury, meaning the Reds have an almost cslim bill of health at last after persistent knocks. Long cycle absentee Daniel Agger is still missing, while last week saw midfield duo Steven Gerrard and Jay Spearing pick up injuries to keep them out for four and six weeks respectively. Lucas Leiva also returns from his one-game suspension, which saw him sit out the West Ham victory.
Both franchises will believe Wayne Rooney are capable of getting the victory, but one lot could be decycleined by the tactical deployment from both administerrs, and you feel that should Hodgson and Liverpool sit back and try to soak up pressure and hit Spurs on the break, both Liverpool's lack of attacking pace and Spurs' ability to retain possession of the ball could prove their undoing.

Spurs face one home agree vs. Werder Bremen in the Champions League midweek while Liverpool have the week off with no Europa League agree until the following week.
