In desperate need of a win to regain its footing in the English Premier League, Liverpool will have to conquer a formidable foe this weekend in Tottenham in order to do that.
A 2-0 loss to Hull City last weekend was the latest disappointment in a string of poor results that has now caused Jurgen Klopp’s men to slip out of the top four in the league table, and their opponents this Saturday likely won’t alleviate their problems as Spurs are riding an 11-match unbeaten streak.
The two sides’ first meeting this season ended in a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane, with a second-half goal by Danny Rose canceling out a first-half penalty by James Milner. It was one of the only two draws on the season at home for Tottenham, who still boasts an unbeaten record at home. That said, Spurs’ 4-6-2 road form could mean there’s a chance for Liverpool to pick up a result at Anfield and close the gap with the league leaders.
Chelsea, meanwhile, will visit a relegation-zone side in Burnley in hopes of extending its nine-point cushion atop the table. Other big-name clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United will take on Hull City and Watford, respectively.
In Spain, Barcelona and Real Madrid will both be on the road, with the former taking on Deportivo Alavés and the latter Osasuna. The German Bundesliga, on the other hand, will feature Bayern Munich-FC Ingolstadt and RB Leipzig-Hamburg SV.
AS Monaco will attempt to keep up its fine run in French Ligue 1 this season when it hosts Metz, while the top two clubs in Italy, Juventus and AS Roma, will face Cagliari and Crotone, respectively.
