SPURS' ATTITUDE IS MILES BETTER

FOR all the jeers from the home fans on the final whistle, Liverpool remain a fairly formidable opponent at Anfield.

Under Arne Slot, they have won 22 of their 35 Premier League home games, losing only four. Their form this season has not been stellar, but in their previous Premier League home match, they put five past West Ham.

After Spurs’ draw with the champions, there was a lot of focus on Liverpool's deficiencies. But the 1-1 draw had as much to do with Tottenham's spirit. It was a display that carried serious significance in the relegation battle. Slot’s team had just over 63 percent of possession, which obviously meant Spurs spent more time chasing.

But a difference of 9km (Spurs covered 118.27km, compared to Liverpool's 109.6) is still quite sizeable.
