Liverpool’s European Bid After Tottenham Sacking

Tottenham have sacked manager Cristian Stellini just 28 days after parting ways with Antonio Conte following a humiliating 6-1 defeat to Newcastle at St James’ Park. Ryan Mason, who has previously assumed the caretaker role, will now take the hot seat and lead Spurs to Anfield on Sunday. Despite their dysfunctional season, Tottenham are still three points and two places ahead of Liverpool in the table, though a win against West Ham and another over Spurs this week will see Klopp’s side leapfrog the Londoners. With a European spot to be available to clubs who finish seventh or higher in the Premier League this season, the tussle is on for who finishes where. Liverpool now sit nine points outside the top four and will have to be perfect and hope for favours elsewhere to have even a small chance of sneaking into the Champions League places. It will require Liverpool to find levels of consistency that has evaded them throughout the campaign, though, having only managed to string a league-winning sequence of four just once. Despite this, we can still rely on Spurs continuing to be Spurs!
