Two clubs in the top half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Liverpool and Tottenham. The first-division clash scheduled for 11 a.m. ET will be held at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool and can be live streamed here free.
Growing belief is surrounding Anfield these days. Despite an unorthodox performance against Sunderland during the week, Liverpool still managed to capture an all-important 2-1 victory. The possibilities of ending the 24-year league title drought is becoming more plausible by the fixture, something manager Brendan Rodgers attributes to his supporters (h/t to the Telegraph). "Our game started on the coach on the way to the stadium," said Rodgers.
"Anyone who watched Liverpool in the 70s and 80s knows what it can be like here. It filled me with great pride [to see all the supporters] as we were driving in. They got us over the line," he added.
"As you can imagine it gives you a real boost of energy because the supporters here get pride from what they players are producing."
