About this episode
Essential Football is back with a dive into Super Sunday’s big showdown in north London between Tottenham and Liverpool. Peter Smith is joined by Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp to analyse the clash and discuss how the sides will match up and assess their respective campaigns so far.
For Tottenham, third in the Premier League and winners of their Champions League group certainly looks good on paper – but are questions about their style of play becoming a problem? And what’s going wrong at Liverpool? It’s the million dollar question as Jurgen Klopp seeks solutions to his side’s inconsistent form. Listen in for Redknapp’s verdict on the two sides and his big match prediction.
