Liverpool announces three positive COVID-19 tests ahead of fixture versus Tottenham

Tottenham Hotspur could potentially have their third straight Premier League matchup postponed. Ahead of the Sunday matchup against Liverpool FC, The Reds announced that they have three players who will miss the matchup in their trip to north London due to a positive COVID-19 test. 

Fabinho, Curtis Jones and Virgil van Dijk will not be in the lineup for Jürgen Klopp. Furthermore, the three players are now in isolation, and after another round of testing, there were no positive tests. 

As of now, all systems go for this match to take place, but the Premier League has seen games postponed a couple of hours before kick-off, so this fixture isn’t out of the woods yet. 

Should the match continue, Tottenham might be looking to take advantage offensively with no van Dijk anchoring the backline for Liverpool. 

Both teams could use the win Sunday as Tottenham pushes for a top-four spot as they sit four points away from Arsenal with three games in hand. Meanwhile, Liverpool wants to remain on par with Manchester City for the league title.
