Is there any hope for Spurs this week-end?

Liverpool have, for a considerable time this season, been a team bang in form. They are Premier League title contenders for the first time in years. They have won their last seven league games, and haven't been beaten in a league game this year. Their last Premier League defeat was on 29th December at Stamford Bridge.

The "Reds" have not one but two top league goal-scorers in Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. The team has already exceeded their Premier League goal-scoring record with 84 so far after 31 games. They've won 13, drawn 1, and lost just 1 of their 15 home games. Liverpool are just one point behind Chelsea, and two points ahead of Man City going into the week-end. Okay, City have two games in hand, but the fact is that with Arsenal slipping away, Liverpool are one of three real title hopes.

Our home game against Liverpool was, of course, Andre Villas-Boas's last game in charge, and was a horrible debacle of a 5-0 defeat. On that day, Liverpool were missing Sturridge and Gerrard, who between them have scored 31 of the team's league goals this season. 8 of Gerrard's 11 league goals have been penalties, conceded by teams struggling to stem the red tide of attacking play.

Some of Liverpool's recent scorelines resemble an era of football from years gone by. That comment also refers to several scores in games between other teams this season. It's a shame that Spurs have usually been the victims and not the perpetrators of such high-scoring games.

In Liverpool's case, just a week ago they won 6-3 at Cardiff. Five weeks ago, when Swansea visited Anfield, the score was 4-3 in favour of the home team. The "Reds" beat Arsenal 5-1 on February 8th, with four goals in the first 20 minutes. Liverpool have not failed to score in a game since November, and that event has only occurred three times all season.

So, is there any hope for Spurs on Sunday?

Well, firstly, Tim Sherwood, who has been under siege for much of his short time in charge, will be keen to better his predecessor's result against this team at White Hart Lane. A draw would be an excellent result.

Secondly, the word last week was that Sandro was rested for the Southampton game. he lasted just half an hour of the home game, and didn't feature in the side again until the home game against Dnipro at the end of February. A physically fit Sandro, able to give a committed but mature performance, would be a great blessing, if not essential to Spurs.

Thirdly, Emmanuel Adebayor should be available for this game. Michael Dawson is also apparently in the reckoning with Vlad Chiriches on the verge of a return. I suspect Chiriches will not make it, and I worry about Dawson's ability to match the speed and guile of Suarez and Sturridge.

Sherwood will take heart from Sunderland's gutsy midweek performance, but they did survive plenty of close shaves, and arguably benefited from leniency by the referee when issuing cards. Tim surely needs to come up with a defensive game plan that does not include the high line, and over-committing our full backs.

Liverpool still have Chelsea and Man City to visit Anfield this season. Confidence is high, and the Kop must be relishing the football being presented to them this season.

Spurs have reverted to type, losing badly to those three title contenders, and also at home and away to Arsenal. This is our last chance to get a decent result this season against a top four side (apart from the home draw against Chelsea). With Everton also flying, despite the fact that our last six games are "winnable", we are going to struggle to retain a top six place and a place in the Europa League. Some Spurs fans would rather avoid The Europa League and point to Liverpool's success this season, without involvement in European football. Personally, I feel that Spurs have to be playing in Europe, even if that does mean the second tier event.

Of course, Sherwood will not have lost belief that top four is possible, and he needs to convince our players that the dream is achievable. It is bound to be an attacking and entertaining game on Sunday. I fear the mass of red-shirted fans will be satiated. I just hope defeat is not as disgraceful as at White Hart Lane.

Phil Dowd referees Sunday's game. Spurs have won their last six games with him in charge. There is hope!
