Spurs News

BBC football pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted that Tottenham will draw with Liverpool on Sunday.

He told BBC Sport Online: “I don’t blame Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp for fielding a virtual reserve team against PAOK Salonika in the Europa League on Thursday. This game was always going to be his main focus.

“If Spurs had not beaten Wolves last week, then Redknapp might be under a bit of pressure – the Premier League has to be his priority at the moment.

“Besides, Tottenham could lose a couple of European games and still get out of their group. It means they can find out one or two things about their younger players too.

“Liverpool complained about some of the decisions which went against them in their defeat by Stoke last weekend, but they just need to get on with it now.

“I cannot see Reds boss Kenny Dalglish trying to take Tottenham on too much in this game. I think they will go there trying not to get beat.

“Prediction: 1-1.”
