We only had one Premier League match on Thursday, but it was an absolute cracker as Tottenham took on Liverpool. Both sides were considered strong title contenders just a month and a half ago, but now they are barely hanging to the coattails of the league-leaders.
Therefore, this was set to be a crucial match for both sides’ respective title-challenges to end a disappointing January (especially for Liverpool) on a positive note.
Lineups
Tottenham fielded a 3-4-3 once again with Hugo Lloris in goal. Joe Rodon, Eric Dier and Ben Davier were at the heart of the defence, with Serge Aurier on their right and most interestingly, Matt Doherty on their left.
