Liverpool face Tottenham in the 36th round of the Premier League. Last week was not the easiest for Merseysiders, but they showed character and continue to dream of a historic quadruple at the end of the season. On Tuesday, Villarreal played a strong half and regained their two-goal deficit before the break, but Liverpool came out transformed in the second half and turned to 3: 2 to qualify for the Champions League final. In the previous round of the Premier League, the Merseysiders beat Newcastle with a minimum of 1: 0 without any problems.

If Tottenham fail to overtake Arsenal for the fourth position, then the lack of perseverance will be the main reason. Antonio Conte stabilized the Spurs' performance after his appointment, but at key moments Tottenham lost points and this hindered him a lot. It is unlikely that many expected that the Londoners will lose as host of Brighton with 1: 0 and will get away with a zero draw from Brentford, after the total domination of the "Bees". Especially since in the weeks before Tottenham was in a series of four consecutive victories and scored 14 goals.

The 3-1 victory against Leicester should restore the self-confidence of the Spurs players. Leicester may not have been fully in the starting line-up and certainly thought more about the rematch with Roma, but the success of the hosts was still deserved. Visiting Anfield will be a very different game, but I think Tottenham has the potential to surprise and even leave Liverpool.

The first match between the two teams at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ended in a draw 2: 2. Then it can be said that the Spurs even missed Liverpool after wasting 2-3 very good positions, and Alison made great saves. Antonio Conte is the king of counter-attacking football and at least in this match he showed that he has a plan to surprise the Merseysiders. In the previous home game of the Reds in the Premier League, Everton players twice had a good chance to score from a quick counterattack, but were unlucky. If Liverpool allow such situations again, they will probably suffer this time, given the class of Tottenham's offensive players. The accumulated fatigue from visiting Villarreal should also be a factor.
