Liverpool v Spurs LIVE!

Hello and welcome to the #RioChallenge Live Blog brought to you by Strongbow, where Liverpool will be looking to keep in the title fight with a win over Tim Sherwood’s Spurs.

Liverpool have won seven games in a row and are yet to register a loss in 2014. Rodgers will again be relying on the striking prowess of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge, who between them have 48 goals this season.

Having gone more than eight years without a trophy it would be a disaster for Arsenal to end the current campaign without a piece of silverware.

Why Chris Smalling Should Have Gone Out On Loan

Chris Smalling seems to be one of Roy Hodgson’s ‘teacher’s pets’ within the England squad. This is perhaps down to the fact he gave him his big break by putting him in the first team at Fulham which then enabled him to get a move to Old Trafford.  In his first season at United, Smalling impressed so much that he was named on the bench for the 2011 Champions League Final against Barcelona ahead of the more experienced Jonny Evans.
