If they lose and the other teams win, all of a sudden they’re in a battle for the top four.

Clyne says the Liverpool dressing room is eager to respond to last weekend’s disappointing 2-0 defeat to Hull City.
Liverpool’s only league defeats this season have come against Burnley, Bournemouth, Swansea City and Hull – all teams now in the bottom nine.
He’s quick, skilful and has an eye for goal – but he’s not going to turn Liverpool into title contenders. You need to be natural, spontaneous and believe in the way you play, use your methods. He hasn’t practice with the first-team all-week and is in doubt to play against Spurs.
Allowing Demba Ba through on goal, the Reds lost not only the game but their only chance in over two decades to win the league.
Pochettino confirmed that the left-back will be absent for Tottenham’s Premier League trip to Liverpool on Saturday but stressed that he should soon be in contention for a place in the starting XI.
However, Mario Balotelli scored the victor with seven minutes remaining, his first Premier League goal for Liverpool. The fans will be up for it and we need to give them a boost.
Since arriving in 2014, Pochettino has turned Tottenham from top-four hopefuls to contenders for the Premier League title as the north London side sit second in the table, nine points behind Chelsea after 24 games.
The Reds managed to get the better of Spurs in the League Cup this season, beating their opponents 2-1 thanks to a Daniel Sturridge double, but his presence on the field said it all.
As his numbers this season from BuLi and Champions League action show, the 20-year-old is a decent asset from out wide.

After tying down their Brazilian sensation Philippe Coutinho to a long term contract, Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool are set to secure the future of another one of their top performers Adam Lallana who is set to sign a new 4-year deal at Liverpool. Tottenham are lethal at the other end, too, and no player has scored more goals than Harry Kane at 6 this 2017. With Antonio Conte’s side facing a tough trip to Burnley, it could be an opportunity for Tottenham to put less distance between themselves and Chelsea.
