Tottenham Hotspur against Liverpool. A fixture that tends to not go well for the team wearing white. This is all Spurs need right now as they battle for some semblance of form. Or at least a result to go their way.
This Liverpool team isn’t quite the same though as some of the sides seen recently under Jurgen Klopp (or even current manager Arne Slot himself). Slot, in a parallel to Thomas Frank at Spurs, has struggled to get his side playing cohesively this season; but unlike Frank, appears to have turned a corner in recent weeks.
That said, this could be a match where both sides strive laboriously to create. As such, there will be a microscope of sorts on the two big-money Bundesliga creative signings in the shape of Xavi Simons at Spurs and Florian Wirtz at Liverpool. Could one of them perhaps be the difference in an arm wrestle of a match?
Let’s find out.
COYS!

Match thread rules
The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:
Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
NO SPIDERS!
Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, transphobic, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
Have fun, and COYS!
