The Reds are back at Spurs for the first time since that VAR mistake
Spurs are at home for their final run-out before Christmas, as they welcome Premier League title favourites Liverpool to north London. It’s been another entertaining week for Ange Postecoglou & Co. with nine goals in two games and the booking of a Carabao Cup semi-final after beating Manchester United for the second time this season.
The Reds will pose their biggest test for far this season, though. Arne Slot, a former managerial target for Spurs, has barely put a foot wrong since succeeding Jurgen Klopp in the summer, and will know his team are out of revenge after losing at Spurs last season in part due to a hugely controversial VAR mistake in a 2-1 loss.
The atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is expected to be lively, and even more so if Chelsea beat Everton earlier in the day to leapfrog Liverpool into top spot. Spurs’ win last season was their first over Liverpool in 13 attempts. Another could do even more damage.
