Chelsea 0: 1: emergency doctor use in the final, Antonio Rüdiger with back goal – football”>Tottenham have an opportunity for revenge in Sunday’s English Premier League smash against Chelsea. The “Spurs” failed in the League Cup semi-finals with two defeats at their London city rivals, but otherwise presented themselves in good shape recently. At national level, excluding their two Cup leagues against Chelsea, Tottenham have been unbeaten for almost three months.
Under coach Antonio Conte, Tottenham are still undefeated in the league, since taking office in November only superior leaders Manchester City and Liverpool have scored more points. The third-placed “Blues”, on the other hand, have been without a win in the league for four games and have lost sight of Man City as a result.
Therefore, only a complete success counts for the reigning Champions League winner, as goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga emphasized. “We need points because we want to be at the top. That’s why we need to improve.” Fellow Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has extended his contract until 2024. The 35-year-old French world champion joined the club in 2012 and is Tottenham’s all-time Premier League player with 317 league appearances.
Second-placed Liverpool, twelve points behind Man City, travel to Crystal Palace on Sunday. The “Reds” recently gained self-confidence by reaching the League Cup final – on Thursday Arsenal were defeated 2-0 in the semi-finals, although the two star strikers Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane were absent due to their appearances in the Africa Cup of Nations. Diogo Jota jumped into the breach with a double pack against the “Gunners”. “He’s a world-class striker,” said coach Jürgen Klopp about the Portuguese.
