Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are in action in the Premier League this weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur are very much in the race for the Premier League title, and will continue to challenge Manchester City and Liverpool.

City and Liverpool are first and second respectively in the Premier League table at the moment with 65 points each.

Spurs are currently third in the standings with 60 points, and fans of the North London outfit will be confident of winning the title.

Tottenham are back in action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Burnley away from home at Turf Moor in the Premier League.

The Clarets do have a good team and have home advantage, but Spurs have a much better team and will be confident of winning on Saturday.

Liverpool face a tougher test, as Jurgen Klopp’s side will take on Manchester United away from home at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

With United in brilliant form at the moment and aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League, the Red Devils will make it tough for the Reds at Old Trafford.

Former Arsenal attacking midfielder Paul Merson believes that Tottenham will be back in the Premier League title race if they win and Liverpool fail to pick up all three points from the encounter.

Merson wrote on Skysports.com: “Tottenham could get back in the title race if they win this game and Liverpool don’t beat Manchester United.

“If Liverpool beat United, then I don’t think Spurs are in it – I think it’s too many points – but if they win this and Liverpool don’t win, then they are in it because they still have to play Liverpool.”
