Liverpool News | Empire of the Kop

Liverpool could win the league on Sunday and all that currently stands in our way is Tottenham, meaning their team news is of interest.

Ange Postecoglou confirmed on Friday that Son Heung-min would be missing from the travelling squad, which is certainly a boost for our chances of success.

However, there is more injury news that some supporters may have missed which has been shared on liverpoolfc.com:

‘Postecoglou reported no fresh fitness worries following Monday’s loss to Nottingham Forest, though, meaning Son and Radu Dragusin are the visitors’ only absentees.’

Not only are we bolstered by a double injury blow, there’s also the fact that Spurs are set to play a Europa League semi final on Thursday too.

The Londoners will be hosting Bodo/Glimt and so will surely have half an eye on their only chance of securing European football next season, meaning others may be rested or taken off the pitch early.

This should all increase our chances of success this weekend, with a very obvious prize awaiting us too.

Tottenham could be the perfect opponents this weekend

Arne Slot has his own injury issues too, though we have a largely fit and available squad to choose from for what could be a game for the ages.

It’s been 35 years since a Liverpool fan has been inside Anfield as we win the league and all those lucky enough to be in or outside the stadium will sample a moment we have waited so long for.

There are no easy games in the Premier League and it will still require a big effort in order to secure victory but we could have been faced with tougher games.

Let’s hope this weekend will be forever etched into our memories for all the right reasons.

Liverpool fans won’t need reminding that a point at Anfield this weekend will hand us the title and it’s only Tottenham who stand in our way.

This means that the Reds will be out for blood and hoping for a dominant performance on Sunday, with team news from North London being eagerly anticipated.

Speaking before the match (via tottenhamhotspur.com), Ange Postecoglou reported: “We don’t have injury problems, as such.

“The only one is Sonny, trying to work his way back. He’s improving, which is positive for us, but not (fit) for Sunday.

“Everyone from the last game has come back well, so apart from the longer-term ones, the rest of the squad is fit and available.”

The absence of Son Heung-min from the squad for Spurs will come as a massive boost to our chances of success, with many deeming him a player we would have loved to have signed in the past.

His Australian manager has even claimed that the South Korean would thrive on Merseyside and it feels like a transfer that exists in another timeline.

In this one though, Arne Slot is about to win the league in his first season and will be looking to do so against a struggling Spurs who are without one of their best players.

Joe Gomez remains our only injury concern at the moment, with our head coach confirming that we can hope to see him in a red shirt again before the end of this campaign.

All focus is now on us to go and make history this weekend with a title win that will never be forgotten.
