Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool go head-to-head this weekend in a huge clash.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has commented on the upcoming Premier League clash between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in his latest column for the Daily Mail.

The ex-defender was asked who he sees coming out on top between Spurs and the Reds and he could not look past a stalemate.

“I can see this being a 1-1 draw,” Keown wrote in the Mail. “Both teams’ seasons hinge on this game. There is too much to lose for them.

“But in terms of the title race a draw only helps Chelsea.”

Tottenham are currently second in the table with 50 points, nine behind Chelsea with 14 matches remaining.

In contrast Liverpool are in fifth place, four points worse off than Saturday’s opponents.

The simple fact is the title is Chelsea’s to lose, even at this stage of the campaign, but Keown is absolutely right – if Tottenham and Liverpool slug out a score draw the only ones laughing will be the Blues and their manager Antonio Conte.
