GOALS GALORE

The current Premier League season has already set a record as the highest-scoring in history. And there are still 44 games to go. In the 336 matches played up to this Friday, 1,092 goals have been scored, surpassing any other season with 38 matchdays and 20 teams. This equates to an average of 3.26 goals per game.

ONE MORE MEXICAN IN THE PREMIERSHIP

Both Tottenham and Arsenal have shown interest in Santiago Gimenez and are looking to add him to their ranks. It is expected that in the next few weeks his signing can be finalized. At Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah are the central strikers, while at Tottenham, Richarlison and Timo Werner occupy that position in the center of attack.

BACK TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE

Leicester still have two games left to play, meaning their return to English Premier League soccer is just around the corner. Jamie Vardy, the team's iconic striker since 2012, has been a standout force this season, scoring 16 goals so far.

A HISTORIC PLAYER DEPARTS

Thiago Emiliano da Silva's era at Chelsea comes to an end! The experienced defender, born in Rio de Janeiro in 1984, has announced his farewell to Stamford Bridge, although he leaves the door open to continue playing at the end of the season. “I came for one year... and it's been four,” revealed the Brazilian, who arrived at the London club in 2020 from Paris Saint-Germain. During his time at Chelsea, he has made 151 appearances, scoring nine goals and providing three assists.

WHAT ABOUT MOHAMED SALAH?

The most notable incident of the weekend in the Premier League was the confrontation between Jürgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah during the draw between West Ham and Liverpool, which seems to have taken the Reds out of title contention. Klopp mentioned that they will discuss the incident in the dressing room with the team and expressed his impression that Salah considers the matter closed. However, the Egyptian's statements suggest otherwise, as he mentioned that talking about the issue today would generate conflict.

WANT IT TO BE A DIFFERENT STORY THIS YEAR

“We are going to approach the title race in a better way than last season. I see in the players' eyes that we will fight for the Premiership until the end,” said Arteta, who celebrated his 100th Premier League win away to Tottenham.

THEY NEED A MIRACLE

“Klopp warned that we need a crisis at Arsenal and City, and to win games, something we are not achieving,” However, Liverpool have fallen into a bad run, falling five points off the pace behind a Gunners who have accelerated without managing to distance themselves from the Citizens.”

THERE WILL BE A SPENDING LIMIT

According to reports from the BBC, Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to implement a spending cap that would come into effect for the 2025/26 season. This measure aims to regularize the exorbitant figures and huge disparities between teams. The majority of clubs voted in favor of the spending limit, which will be determined by the amount of money earned in TV rights by the club with the lowest revenue in the Premier League, as reported by the aforementioned source.

THE WAIT IS OVER

The wait for the Premier League is over, the best actions of the best club level tournament in Europe are back with the best goals, the best plays, the best players and the best controversies to the English country's lawns.

What time is Liverpool vs Tottenham match for Premier League Match 2024?

This is the start time of the game Liverpool vs Tottenham of 5th May in several countries

Watch out for this Tottenham player:

For this match, Heung-Ming Son must be under a magnifying glass, the South Korean is a killer for Spurs and his vast experience in the Premier League has made him a totally dangerous player every time he touches the ball. Also, his great physical condition makes him a multi-functional player in different positions, so Liverpool's defensive saga will have to see how they can stop a player like Son.

Watch out for this Liverpool player:

For these 90 minutes, the player to watch will be the best center-back in the world for the crowds, Dutchman Virgil Van Dijk, the Red's defender has been a fundamental piece in Liverpool's starting XI and has been extremely important throughout the season for Liverpool to keep fighting in the top positions of the overall table. Likewise, Van Dijk is a security in the defensive zone, so Tottenham will have to find a way to get past this defensive wall.

Tottenham's final lineup:

G. Vicario; P. Porro, C. Romero, M. Van de Ven, B. Davies; R. Bentancur, P. Hojbjerg; D. Kuluseveski, J. Maddison, T. Werner; H. Ming-Son.

Last Liverpool lineup:

Alisson; A. Robertson, V. Van Dijk, A. Quansah, T. Alexander-Arnold; R. Gravenberch, W. Endo. A. Mac Allister; L. Diaz, C. Gakpo, H. Elliot.

Background:

Liverpool and Tottenham have met at least 180 times (86 Liverpool wins, 45 draws, 49 Tottenham wins) where the balance is largely in favor of the Red's. In terms of goal scoring history, Liverpool have scored on 286 occasions, while Tottenham only boast 207 goals scored. Their last meeting dates back to matchday 7 of the Premier League 23/24 where Tottenham beat Liverpool 2-1.

Here is where the match will take place

The mythical Anfield Stadium is located in the city of Liverpool and is the home par excellence of Liverpool Football Club, a team that plays its Premier League matches there. This enclosure, is one of the Stadiums that are part of the soccer tradition in England, having existence since 1884 and being one of the best Stadiums at the level of infrastructure in the English country, having a UEFA rating of four stars, being a totally elite Stadium.

Tottenham can be both hero and villain

Tottenham Spurs find themselves in a position to be either the saviors or the antagonists in the tale of who can win the Premier League crown. For starters, Tottenham can take the win and once and for all, send Liverpool out of the title race, leaving the contest entirely to Manchester City and Arsenal. However, a defeat for Spurs would give life to the Reds and therefore, the three-way race would remain alive in the best league in the world. And beyond the fact that now Tottenham is the team that could define the next champion of England, they are playing for their permanence in the Europa League as they are 6 points behind Manchester United, relegating the red devil's to the Conference League.

Three vital points in the Reds' destiny

Liverpool's team went from having a dream season where they could have been fighting for several championships to a season where little by little things have been breaking down with the loss of important points in the fight to stay in the top places of the general table and to fight for the premiership title, now, they are almost 90 minutes away from losing the possibility of staying in the race, because one thing is certain, Liverpool will be in the UEFA Champions League next season, however, the recent "fight" between Mohamed Salah and Jürgen Klopp made it clear that the Red's were hurt by losing the league leadership, the elimination in the Europa League and a month ago, the elimination from the FA Cup. Now, they are mathematically nothing away from being out of the race for the Premier League, they must hope that Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool win this game to continue competing for the title for one more matchday. 

The season is coming to an end

Little by little the season is coming to an end in the English top flight, the Premier League is only 3 rounds away from reaching its end and the teams are already starting to get into rhythm to face the intense end of the season that is always so vibrant in the European continent. With three teams fighting to be the new monarch in England, a big six that is still undefined, and the drama of relegation at its peak, a magnificent end to the season is coming, with a scenario that seems to be defined until the last day of the regular campaign.

Kick-off time
