ICYMT: Liverpool Legend Hails ‘Unbelievable’ Salah

One standout match will be a preview of the Carabao Cup final. It’s a crucial game for a team aiming for the top four against a title contender. Also, Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham is looking to keep the momentum going against a struggling Manchester City. Plus, Chelsea is eager to turn things around after a tough stretch.

Let’s look at some key matchups for this Premier League week, live on Optus Sport.

Liverpool vs Newcastle: Carabao Cup Final Warm-Up

Liverpool and Newcastle fans are gearing up for their Carabao Cup final. But first, they meet in a match that’s big for the title race and top-four spots.

Liverpool recently thrashed Manchester City and now has an 11-point lead. Their strong home record against Newcastle boosts their confidence. But they could be tired, as this will be their fifth league game in February.

Newcastle comes in with some momentum after beating Nottingham Forest. They face a tough job at Anfield, but they’ve held Liverpool to a draw before. They’ll be looking to shake things up in the title race again.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City: Can Spurs Surprise City Again?

After a challenging time, Tottenham seems to be back on track with three straight league wins. Their key players are back, giving them a boost before facing Manchester City.

City has not been in great form lately. They are not looking forward to facing Spurs, who beat them soundly earlier in the season. Historically, Spurs usually do well at home against City. They’ve lost only once at their stadium in the league.

With City out of the title race, Spurs fans want to see their team beat the reigning champions again.

Arsenal and Nottingham Forest: A Must-Win for the Gunners

Arsenal’s title hopes took a hit after a close loss to West Ham. They are now 11 points behind Liverpool. Next, they have a tough match away at Nottingham Forest, who have had some big wins this season.

Forest has not been great lately, with three losses in four games, but they are still in the fight for the top four. They need a strong result to keep their Champions League chances alive.

For Arsenal, finding ways to score is key. Any more dropped points could end their title hopes.

Chelsea vs Southampton: A Key Test for the Blues

What started as a good season for Chelsea is now at risk. They’ve had only two wins in their last 10 games, landing them in seventh place and at risk of missing out on the Champions League.

They do have a chance to bounce back against bottom-tier Southampton, who are trying to avoid the worst points total in Premier League history.

Despite Chelsea’s struggles, Southampton has a tough challenge at Stamford Bridge. If they manage to pull off a surprise win, it could add more pressure on Maresca and the Chelsea team.
