Kranjcar eyes Reds win

Niko Kranjcar is confident Tottenham Hotspur can increase their lead over Liverpool in the league table.

 

The teams square up in the Barclays Premier League on Wednesday night with both sides aiming for an illustrious top four placing.

Spurs sit in fourth spot and are four points and three places above Liverpool at the midway point of the campaign.

Although Harry Redknapp's troops dropped points at the weekend after being held 0-0 at home to Hull City, Kranjcar believes Spurs can bounce back with victory at Anfield.

"We want it (fourth place)," he said. "We said that from day one. We never hid our ambitions and we believe we can do it.

"It is a good time to play Liverpool, but they are a massive team and we are still going away from home.

"Do we believe we can win that game? Yes we do. We believe in our qualities. We have beaten Liverpool once already this season but they are only four points behind us.

"They might be in a bad season, but they are only four points behind us. They have every right to believe they can make it to the Champions League.

"It's going to be a massive game for us. I really expect them to be at their top level, but so will we. It's an important game to put some breathing space between us and them."
