Prematch | Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur | PL Matchday 30 | Sunday 15/03/2026 - 16:30 GMT

Back to the grindstone and a visit from Spurs for our 30th League match of the season. Spurs are currently like the footballing equivalent of the Keystone Cops and it is anyone’s guess as to what we will turn out like. I suspect that this will provide a certain amount of amusement to neutral fans and a good deal of Schadenfreude to our rivals.

Anyway, the officials are announced as follows:

Referee: Chris Kavanagh.
Assistants: Dan Cook, James Mainwaring.
Fourth official: Tom Kirk.
VAR: John Brooks.
Assistant VAR: Dan Robathan.

Spurs current injury situation is here:

Ours is mostly as expected, although we may have some positive news on Alisson:

I would expect an update during Slot’s pre-match press conference (not yet announced, but I would guess it will be Friday at 09:00 GMT).

It would be soooooo Liverpool if Tudor wins his first point(s) against us.

It might be Hoddle and Robbie Keane.
Tudor could be gone by then.

Hoddle and Keane, f*ck me. Doesn’t get more random than that. Is that a real idea or some fan imagination?

:joy:

Was mentioned somewhere, Hoddle offered his services and Keane is willing as well. Not random as you might think.

The fact that its lunch time and they haven’t moved would suggest he probably gets our game at least.

But are both willing to go in together or want the job for themelves?

:joy:

I really don’t know. But there is talk of Tudor being sscked, and both of them are mentioned

Tudor’s disastrous run surprises me a bit. When he worked here in Italy his teams weren’t great but they always put up a fight and looked solid defensively speaking. With Spurs he’s been worse than probably anything we’ve seen from them lot in 15/20 years.

I personally wouldn’t be surprised if they nick a point come Sunday, being a contest between two really fragile teams. That’s if they don’t sack him earlier (today?)

They could change 3 different coaches until the end of the season and still get nowhere. A lot of damage has already been done, although still a realistic chance of staying up.

Martinez spoke really well recently on the Overlap wondering what’s the mentality like right now at Spurs, not used to being in such a fight and real danger of going down.

This is gonna finish about 6-3 again

Goals or players left on the field?

edit - I’m pretty sure they will be playing for their “shirts”, the “club” and country and the shop window…

The most important match of the season!
We are approaching the business end of the season. Arsenal are long gone however we can, results pending, catch Shitty. So we need some good performances from now on.
There really is no reason we shouldn’t win this one however matches need some coaching and waiting till half time makes it all a toss of a coin.

I’m just trying to fathom what formation their injury list could play in.
