Liverpool could secure their 20th Premier League title this Sunday as they host Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, a match that promises high stakes for the Reds and a litmus test for Spurs’ priorities amid a congested fixture list.

With the trophy within touching distance, Arne Slot’s side seeks to capitalize on a faltering Tottenham team distracted by Europa League ambitions.

A draw or victory against Tottenham would guarantee Liverpool the title, equalling Manchester United’s record of 20 English top-flight crowns.

Even a loss would not derail their destiny, as a subsequent draw at Chelsea on May 4 would suffice.

Liverpool’s dominance this season—boasting just two defeats in 34 league games—means wrapping up the title is now formality, whether it’s this weekend or in the coming weeks.

Squad rotation is likely, while Son Heung-min has already been ruled out of the fixture.

Tottenham’s Anfield record offers little optimism, having not won there since 2011 and conceding in 18 consecutive league meetings.

And now, ahead of the clash, Postecoglou was quizzed on his Liverpool allegiances, and it’s fair to say he’s changed his tune now in his second full year at Tottenham and not enjoying the best campaign.

When asked if he feels like his feelings for Liverpool could get in the way on Sunday, Postegoclou said:

“No mate, honestly I’m an almost 60-year-old adult?
