Tottenham has had a difficult first half of the 2019-20 season.The North London team fell as low as 14th place and eventually manager Mauricio Pochettino was relieved of duty and replaced by Jose Mourinho. Things have picked up since then but it still hasn’t been smooth sailing with losses at the hands of teams like Man United and Southampton. Currently at sixth position, Tottenham has the daunting task of prying 3 points away from the undefeated opponents.
Liverpool FC couldn’t even ask for a better season. They are the only team that is undefeated. A 13-point lead over Leicester City(2nd) almost ensures their position as Champions. There is not a weak spot in the team with players like Mane’ up front and Trent Alexander Arnold as full back shining to an unprecedented extent this season. At this point the task of potentially defeating the Reds almost seems Herculean.
