http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 look to overcome their poor recent history at White Hart Lane as they take on Spurs in a league match on Wednesday.
Both the teams will go into the game in contrasting form, but will, nevertheless, have just a win on their minds in order to close the gap on their top-four rivals.
Villas Boas’ unit, who suffered 4 defeats in their past 5 fixtures prior to their win against West Ham United last week, will be aiming to build a match winning momentum and subsequently, relieve the pressure on their under-fire manager.
The London-based team have so far collected 20 points from their 13 matches, and lead the Reds by 4 points in the table.
Meanwhile, Rodgers’ men will be eager to further stretch their recent eight-match unbeaten run and will try to push themselves in the upper half of the table by securing maximum points. However, in order to do so, they will need to overcome their dismal
series of results at White Hart Lane in recent history, which has seen them emerge second best to the Spurs in all four of their last fixtures at the stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur
The hosts will be without the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 this month. Hence, Defoe and Dempsey will lead the charge upfront.
Scott Parker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Younes-Kaboul-c37543 and Benoit Assou-Ekotto are yet to recover from their injuries and will play no part on Wednesday.
However, AVB will be lifted by the return of his summer acquisition, Mousa Dembele. The midfielder made a brief appearance against the Hammers, but is likely to start from the bench again.
Expected Starting Line-up:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jermain-Defoe-c18359.
Liverpool
Rodgers hasn’t got any fresh injury concerns to address, but is expected to make a couple of changes to the side which started against Swansea City.
Andre Wisdom could return in place of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Henderson-c19102 will make way for Nuri Sahin.
Meanwhile, Jose Enrique will be entrusted with a more attacking role, based on his solid recent form.
Suarez will once again be the vanguard of the Reds frontline while Sterling will play second fiddle.
Expected Starting Line-up:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251, Joe Allen, Jose Enrique, Raheem Sterling, Luis Suarez.
Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur 2 : 2 Liverpool
The match at the midweek is anybody’s for the taking and is too close to call. A draw seems to be the likely result.
