Latest Tottenham vs Liverpool football commentary
To make that promise a reality, Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham Hotspur will need to improve on the 6-3 defeat to Liverpool in North London before Christmas. Spurs' poor defence is not only a reflection of Postecoglou's philosophy but also a squad crunch due to injury and illness.
Spurs fans continued to suffer defeat at home as they lost 2-1 to Newcastle United, leaving them in 12th place and 10 points off the top six. The absence of a centre-back in the second half explains why Tottenham have kept just one clean sheet in their last 11 games, boasting one of the worst defences in the league.
Tottenham will be hoping to make it to Tamworth in the FA Cup, and the League Cup semi-final will be a chance to regain confidence ahead of the North London derby. With the Premier League goal looming, Postecoglou must now focus on the League Cup, where Tottenham are waiting for their first major trophy in 17 years. They have reached the semi-finals, overcoming both Manchester sides, including a dramatic 4-3 win over Man United.
Liverpool, the reigning League Cup champions and Premier League leaders, have had a challenging run against Premier League sides in the previous rounds. After a run of four consecutive wins, Liverpool drew 2-2 with Man United last weekend but still maintained a six-point lead at the top. If they keep up their form, Liverpool could win their second Premier League title in five years.
