Your support makes all the difference.Tottenham host Liverpool in the final Premier League fixtures before Christmas. The two sides clash in Sunday’s late kick off at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium with both in search of three points.
Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs have come under pressure in recent weeks with the manager being accused of stubbornly sticking to the same gameplan when things are going wrong. Defeats to Bournemouth and Chelsea sent Tottenham into the bottom half of the table before a confidence-building 5-0 victory over Southampton, and a 4-3 Carabao Cup win against Man Utd, gave the team some momentum.
Liverpool meanwhile continue to impress under Arne Slot though there have been a couple of stumbles. Back-to-back draws against Newcastle and Fulham have allowed their rivals to close the gap in the league table and Slot will want his team to get back to winning ways with a strong performance in London today.

6-3 now, as van Dijk cuts the pass out and starts the counter. It comes to Diaz on the left, and he ships it on to Jota, who squares it to Szoboszlai. He works one more pass on to Salah, who sees Diaz making the diagonal run and slips it behind the defence. The Colombian is forced to hit it at an angle, but he squeezes a low finish into the opposite corner.
