Carragher eyes Spurs

Jamie Carragher believes the future is bright for Liverpool as they look to close down Tottenham in the hunt for European qualification.

The Reds grabbed a crucial point from Sunday’s Barclays Premier League clash at Arsenal, which finished 1-1 after two stoppage-time penalties during a dramatic finale.

It leaves Kenny Dalglish’s side four points behind Spurs, who are currently fifth, but have played two games less.

The teams are set to meet at Anfield on May 15, by which time the Liverpool captain – who showed no ill effects after being knocked unconscious following a clash of heads with youngster John Flanagan – hopes the gap will have been slowly chipped away.

“There have been a few times where we thought we can catch Spurs and after these last two games we probably think we can,” said Carragher. “We have now got two homes games to come, but the thing is not to worry about Tottenham and just worry about ourselves.”
