It might not be the biggest football match of the day in England, but the Tottenham v Liverpool clash at White Hart Lane promises to be just as exciting of an encounter as the Manchester United v Chelsea showdown later on in the day. Coming off of disappointing season, Liverpool and Tottenham have to make amends and feature in this year’s Champions League – at least that is the fan expectation from both sides as the two clubs currently stand at the bottom of the six super-team cluster.
The Spurs are in the midst of trying to navigate their way out of a typical poor start to the season. A 2-0 away win at Wolverhampton took them out of dead last position and allowed room for a speedy recovery if they are able to get the result on Sunday against Liverpool. Harry Redknapp elected to keep many of his top players out for their opening UEFA Europa League match against PAOK. Some of the side’s most experienced players in Gallas, Lennon and Van der Vaart will all be available, but with the depth of the squad, time could be given to them until they are at 100%.

Liverpool are experiencing a rare European football-less year – and the focus for Dalglish will be solely to get in the top 4, something that has become much more difficult than in past years with the fast rise of Man City and Tottenham. Some of the side’s most experienced players in Gallas, Lennon and Van der Vaart will all be available, but with the depth of the squad, time could be given to them until they are at 100%. Everyone will be keen to see if Gerrard will be able to return to his old self but how long he features, if at all, is still uncertain.
What a return it would be for Gerrard if he can lead his team past fellow Champions League contenders Tottenham
