TOTTENHAM host Liverpool in what is set to be their first football match for two weeks.
Spurs have had their last three fixtures postponed due to Covid, with Premier League matches at home to Brighton and away at Leicester to be re-arranged.
Antonio Conte’s men are also almost certain to be eliminated from the Europa Conference League after Uefa said a new date for their game against Rennes could not be found.
Liverpool meanwhile have not had any interruption to their programme due to Covid.
Jurgen Klopp’s men were 3-1 winners over Newcastle on Thursday night as they kept their title challenge on track.
And the Reds bossed backed the Premier League’s decision to hold any games that could go ahead rather than imposing a circuit-breaker.
He said: “Stopping the league is probably not the right thing but with the schedule we have to be more flexible.
“So far football kept it pretty much outside with the testing regimes, the massive disciplinary things for the boys did really well, but this time it is really difficult.”
“I don’t see the massive benefit of it [stopping the Premier League] because we come back [and] it is still the same.
“If the virus will be gone then I am the first that stops and goes home and waits until it is gone. But that is probably not the case, so where’s the real benefit of it?”
