Prediction: 3-2
Tottenham
Liverpool and Tottenham take on each other at Anfield in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. The Reds dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with West Ham United at the weekend, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat Spurs in front of home fans. Both Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah are pushing for a start, while the likes of Diogo Jota, Conor Bradley, Thiago Alcantara, and Ben Doak remain in the recovery room.
The capital club, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back defeats to Newcastle (0-4) and Arsenal (2-3), which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Jurgen Klopp’s charges. Fit-again striker Richarlison is pushing for a start as well as defensive midfielder Yves Bissouma, while all Oliver Skipp, Destiny Udogie, Ryan Sessegnon, and Manor Solomon remain in the treatment room.
Highlighted Player (Mohamed Salah):
Mohamed Salah is considered one of the best African players. Salah began his senior career at El Mokawloon, scoring 11 goals in 41 league appearances for the club and in 2012 he moved to Europe, signing a four-year deal with Swiss side Basel.
The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as a striker as well was producing outstanding displays for the RotBlau from 2012 to 2014 and, as a result, Chelsea chiefs decided to sign him on 26 January, 2015 for a fee of £11 million. Mohamed Salah, though, failed to impress in the Premier league and one year later he was sent on loan to Fiorentina.
After making 16 league appearances for the Viola in the Serie A, the left-footed winger signed a loan deal with Roma on 6 August, 2015. The Romans made the contract permanent on 3 August, 2016. Speaking of his international career, Salah made his Egypt debut on 3 September, 2011 in a 2-1 loss to Sierra Leone. It has to be noted that he was named Roma’s player of the season (2015/2016).
Highlighted Team (Tottenham):
Tottenham Hotspur are a professional football club based in North London. Spurs host their rivals at White Hart Lane and the capacity of the stadium is 36,284. Tottenham won the Premier League (First Division) trophy in 1950/1951 and 1960/1961 and despite producing terrific displays in the 2015/2016 campaign Mauro Pochettino’s team eventually finished the season in third place in the standings.
Tottenham’s bitter rivals are Arsenal, but Chelsea and West Ham United are regarded as the team’s fierce opponents as well. Spurs have won eight FA Cup trophies, with the team also lifting the 1962/1963 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title.
Tottenham Hotspur hammered Atletico Madrid in the final of the competition back then (5-1). The likes of David Ginola, Sol Campbell, Teddy Sheringham, Jurgen Klinsmann, Gary Lineker, Luka Modric, Robbie Keane and Gareth Bale are star players that used to play for the White Hart Lane outfit in the past. The colour of Tottenham Hotspur’s home kit is white.
