Premier League Preview: Liverpool Seek Revival, Spurs & Everton in Relegation Battle
Liverpool, currently leading the Premier League, need to recover from recent setbacks to maintain their title lead. After drawing with Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, and losing to Tottenham in the League Cup, the Reds are facing a challenge to keep their rivals at bay. With Arsenal just four points behind, Liverpool’s upcoming match at Brentford will test their resilience.
Tottenham, in a slump with four defeats in five matches, are now closer to the relegation zone than the top four. After a 2-1 loss to Arsenal, manager Ange Postecoglou is under pressure, with a key clash against Everton looming. Everton, struggling near the relegation zone, are desperate for points following a loss to Aston Villa in David Moyes' return as manager.
Meanwhile, Alexander Isak is in red-hot form for Newcastle, having scored in eight consecutive Premier League matches. With his team in fourth place, Isak looks to extend his goal-scoring run and close in on Jamie Vardy’s record of 11 consecutive games.
