Tottenham – Liverpool. Forecast and announcement for the England Championship match

On Saturday, December 20, the match of the 17th round of the English Championship between “Tottenham” and “Liverpool” will take place. The game will start at 19:30 Kyiv time.

Tottenham

The team is extremely unstable this season. After 16 rounds of the Premier League, he has 22 points on his balance sheet, which allows him to occupy the 11th step in the tournament table. However, the distance from the other teams is still not great – the “Spurs” are 4 points away from both the 16th and the 5th place. In the English League Cup, the team reached the 1/8 finals, where they were defeated by Newcastle.

In the Champions League, the English managed to win 11 points in 6 rounds, thanks to which they occupy the 11th position in the overall competition table. “Tottenham” is only 1 point behind the required top 8.

Liverpool

Arne Slot’s team is just as unstable this season. In 16 games of the English championship, the “reds” managed to win 26 scoring points – so far this is enough to occupy the 7th place in the overall table of the competition. The club is only 2 points behind the top 4, but the leader, “Arsenal”, is already 10 points ahead of “Liverpool”. The club also crashed out of the FA Cup at the round of 16 stage, losing 3-0 to Crystal Palace.

In the Champions League, the Merseysiders managed to win 12 points, thanks to which the team is now in 9th place in the overall table. The club does not get into the top 8 only because of a worse goal/concealed difference than Atlético Madrid.
