Premier League: Liverpool vs. Tottenham

Liverpool will play Tottenham, this Wednesday, in the rearranged postponed game originally set to be played in the second weekend of the New Year. Liverpool poor form continues into the New Year and facing Tottenham is not what they want at this moment, but the show must go on and these three points will be vital for the fight for the Champions League spot next season.

Rafa Benitez might have regretted not to have played this game on the originally date. He had a fit Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Yossi Benayoun just a few ago but now he struggles to find a player to lead his attacking momentum. He did manage to field seven defensive players in the 1-1 draw against Stoke City last weekend. Liverpool had to scrap their passing flow momentum and drew out long balls up to David Ngog’s head, without any dividends. Although, Liverpool was dangerous in set pieces and once again conceded in the last minutes of the game. A good display with what is left with the squad but certainly not the expected performance from Liverpool. Albert Riera or Maxi Rodriguez could get the nod to start at Anfield, while Daniel Agger is doubtful.

Tottenham is also finding it hard in the winter periods as they have been hit on mostly off the field incidents. Robbie Keane outraged Harry Redknapp with the party and the manager, himself, getting into troubles with the tax. However, on the field, things are slowly progressing but there is a bit of momentum lost infront of goal, as Spurs draw blanks against Hull City last weekend 0-0 draw. Tottenham have lost Assou-Ekotto, Hutton, Woodgate, Pavlyuchenko and Cudicini to injuries. Both Ledley Kind and Aaron Lennon are doubtful to face Liverpool.

Liverpool would have never guessed that they would be without Gerrard and Torres for this match. To makes matter worse, Liverpool are in need of points to keep pace with the teams above them and Benitez is looking uncertain as manager of the Liverpool. Tottenham looks weak favorite against Liverpool and could well take all three points back to North London.
