'Ghost-Chicken' fight, fisherman benefits!

(Baonghean.vn) Early tomorrow morning (00:30, February 12), Liverpool will face Tottenham in the highlight match of round 25. The "Red Devils" of Merseyside are having an unstable performance but Anfield's history is always against the "Roosters". More interestingly, the remaining "big guys" are ready to play the role of "fisherman profiting" from the results of this great battle.

Not easy for the "Chickens"!

Jurgen Klopp and his team are going through the darkest days when they have not won 5 consecutive matches, including 4 defeats in all competitions. In particular, being humiliated by Hull City with 2 goals to nil in round 24, Liverpool has almost been eliminated from the championship race. Returning to the TOP 4 will be very difficult when competitors are all in stable form. Even the 5th position on the rankings is at risk of falling into the hands of MU in this round, when the gap is only 1 point. If they do not want to continue to fall into crisis, they must "cut the throat" of "Spurs" in this round.

At Anfield, Tottenham is always inferior to Liverpool

Anfield's history will help Jurgen Klopp's army realize that! Statistics show that in 75 official encounters with Tottenham on all fronts, they won 47 matches, drew 22 matches and lost only 6 matches. In the last 6 times hosting the "Rooster", the Anfield team was also unbeaten with 4 wins and only 2 draws. Obviously, Anfield is truly Liverpool's "theater" and a dangerous place that makes Tottenham tremble every time they come here.

If Jurgen Klopp and his students use home ground as a "talisman", then coach Pochettino's army also has a reason to break the streak of not winning at Anfield. Tottenham's 9-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League is the basis for fans to believe in that. It should also be remembered that, up to now, Spurs are the only name that has completed the mission of rescuing the Premier League, when defeating Chelsea 2-0 in round 20. They are the team with more opportunities than the remaining opponents, in the championship race with Chelsea, considering their current form and position.

On the other hand, the 9-point gap with Chelsea is at risk of widening when Coach Conte's team only has to face rookie Burnley in this round. Tottenham certainly do not want that to happen. Therefore, they have more motivation to be determined to win 3 points after 5 consecutive years of being disappointed at Anfield.

But it will be very difficult for the "Roosters" without the services of two pillars in the defense, center-back Jan Vertonghen and left-back Danny Rose, due to injury. Coach Pochettino and his team should also remember that, in addition to Anfield always being a dangerous place for them, Liverpool also play like a ghost when facing opponents of the same level in the "BIG six" group.

"Ghost - Chicken" fight, fisherman benefits!

The fact that the championship is almost decided for Chelsea is making the race for TOP 4 more dramatic. In the context of teams chasing each other closely, having to fight for every point, the result of the big match between Liverpool and Tottenham will be of special interest to the "fishermen" because it is related to their interests.

The result of this big match will greatly affect the position on the top of the rankings.

Chelsea are the team that most want Tottenham to stumble, to eliminate another persistent pursuer and shorten the path to the championship. Second place will also fall to Man City, if Tottenham lose or draw, and Pep Guardiola's team beat Bournemouth in this round.

If Liverpool draw or lose, and MU wins against Watford, the Anfield team will be pushed down to 6th place, MU will rise to 5th place.
