As Tottenham head to Anfield to take on Liverpool this weekend, there is a sense of \u2018what could have been<\/em>\u2019 surrounding the club.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if Spurs had managed to pick up at least nine-points\nfrom their last four Premier League games instead of the one they actually managed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If they had, Tottenham would be seven-points behind the table-topping\nReds with a game in hand on their rivals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victory on Sunday would thrust Pochettino\u2019s men to within a\npoint of Liverpool if they were to of won their game in hand, and if they have\nmanaged to pick up all 12-points from their last four, top spot would belong to\nthe Lilywhites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh well, the reality is very much different as Spurs face\nthe very real prospect of missing out on the top four altogether. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there is still plenty of reasons to be optimistic\nthis season with the opening of the new stadium and a Champions League\nquarter-final with Manchester City still to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This weekend though it is back to the bread and butter of\nthe Premier League and victory (or at\nleast a draw<\/em>) is a must for the Lilywhites with Arsenal able to overhaul Spurs\nwith a win over Newcastle on Monday should Spurs fail to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, with the stakes set high, we thought what better time\nthan now to take a look at some of the stats ahead of a crucial game for both\nsides to bamboozle your mates with your knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
