I said here earlier before the match that it is will be very difficult to play Burnley at home, Liverpool and Arsenal managed to beat them with a single goal while Man played 1-1 with them, Tottenham ought to know that Burnley will throw in everything to try and win the match and it eventually paid off, relegation battling team often create upset, imagine a Tottenham side that defeated the league leader Man City while incredible losing to a bottom table team, it's a huge setback for Tottenham UCL top 4, if Arsenal wins tonight.
Tottenham have enough quality and attacking power to beat Burnley. If they can beat Manchester City, they are able to beat other clubs. Problems with them in past few seasons are they can not maintain their good performance in a whole season. It drains them down the lower position on the table and they can not be in top 4 and fall further behind a position to fight for Premier League title.
Last night's big win over Leeds made Liferpol 3 points behind manchester city, no one expected Liferpol to beat Leeds with a landslide score of 6-0, even Jorgen Klop didn't believe Liferpol could beat Leeds 6-0, five wins in a row is an achievement which is amazing, Pepguardiola also said at the press conference yesterday, Pep said the team he feared the most now was Liferpol, because liferpol always followed them from behind, even Pep also said he didn't want to meet liferpol in the quarter-finals. champions league, it is better for me to meet another team in the champions league than to have to meet with liferpol, because according to Pep it is easier to beat other teams than to beat liferpol, Pep only wants their meeting with liferpol only in the final, not in the quarter-finals..
Premier League becomes more exciting with recent results from Manchester City and Liverpool but the league championship is only the race between two clubs. Chelsea lost many points and are almost excluded from the competition. Two months ago, it seems the title will be almost reserved for Manchester City with big gap to both Chelsea and Liverpool. Now, it is closer between them, just 3 points and Liverpool will have one direct match with Manchester City.
They are both fighting in Champions League and between Liverpool, Klopp and Manchester City, Pep, the latter team and coach are more ambitious to win Champions League. With this approach and higher priority for Champions League, Liverpool might have more opportunities to equalize the 3 point difference.
