Berbatov: On his way?
90 + 2 - ALL OVER: Fernando Torres sets a new record for goals scored by a foreign player in a debut Premier League campaign as he helps Liverpool to a 2-0 victory over Tottenham at White Hart Lane. Stay with Skysports.com for all the post-match reaction.
90 - Added time: There will be two minutes added time.
85 - Showboating: Liverpool carve Spurs apart, but Benayoun goes for a cheeky back heeled flick and just goes wide.
82 - Cruising: Liverpool are in command and Gerrard is looking very impressive. Tottenham are looking for the final whistle.
78 - Substitution: Kuyt comes off for Lucas Leiva.
77 - Liverpool corner: Gerrard and Torres are terrorising the home defence as Tottenham half clear a corner and the latter chips an effort against the cross bar.
75 - Liverpool on top: The visitors have stepped up the tempo and a third looks to be only a matter of time before a third.
74 - GOAL LIVERPOOL!!! Torres scores. The Spaniard gets one-on-one with Dawson and eases past the Tottenham defender to caress the ball into the back of the net.
73 - Great save: Berbatov hits a stunning half volley at goal, but Reina superbly tips over and Tottenham's corner is cleared. Spurs bring on Bent for Dawson.
71 - Substitution: Voronin makes way for Steve Finnan.
69 - GOAL LIVERPOOL!!! Voronin scores. Torres gets a deft flick on the ball and Voronin is able to latch onto the ball and poke past Cerny from close range.
66 - Spurs dominance: The home side are calling the tune now and Liverpool are struggling for the ball.
65 - Tottenham corner: Fans behind the goal think Malbranque has scored, but it is side netting after a deflection off Arbeloa and again Tottenham's corner is poor.
63 - All action: Gerrard is desperate for a goal and appears intent on taking matters into his own hands in trademark style, but a long range effort is well over the top.
61 - Booking: Alan Hutton goes in the book for dissent.
60 - Tottenham corner: Can the home side deliver? No as Liverpool clear, but their counter attack comes to nothing.
58 - Good idea: Gerrard is lucky to escape as he gives the ball away, but Tainio cannot quite get on the end of a delicate cross from Keane.
57 - Substitution: Liverpool bring on Yossi Benayoun for Babel.
56 - Booking: Liverpool youngster Emiliano Insua for a late challenge on Dawson.
54 - Good news: West are 2-1 down. All Tottenham need is a win, as it stands, to finish in the top half of the table.
52 - Bad pass: Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano sprays the ball out of play and Gerrard then loses the ball. There is a lot more bite in the Spurs midfield this half.
50 - Swap shop: Nilesh from Portsmouth wants to know if Tottenham would be interested in a swap deal of Riise for Berbatov. On the pitch, things are a lot brighter than the first half.
48 - Good save: Torres' eyes light up as he has a clear sight of his 24th league goal of the season, but Cerny saves well despite going to ground early.
47 - Tottenham corner: The home side have the chance to deliver, but Kuyt heads clear.
46 - Get in touch: Didier Zokora is down after a clash with Gerrard. Will the changes for Tottenham make a difference? Don't forget it is
46 - WE'RE BACK: Juande Ramos has made changes as Teemu Tainio and Tom Huddlestone come on for Jenas and O'Hara.
45 + 1 HALF-TIME: The first half of a classic end of season affair comes to an end. Berbatov's header was the closest we have seen. Liverpool have dominated possession, but they have created little. Let's hope for a better second half.
45 - Added time: There will be one minute added time.
44 - Tottenham corner: O'Hara delivers well and Liverpool just about clear. The visitors have looked a little shaky at set plays.
43 - Strong finish: Tottenham are finishing the half well. But Jenas is again guilty of giving the ball away.
40 - Better play: Tottenham enjoy a period of keep ball, but the White Hart Lane faithful are on Jenas' back as the midfielder gives the ball away.
37 - Berbatov exit: Ste Madden feels that, if Berbatov leaves, the departure will give Darren Bent a new lease of life at Spurs. A good shout.
34 - Nothing happening: Liverpool are dominating the ball, but are struggling to create. If Babel can sort out his touch, Tottenham could be in trouble.
32 - Danger: Voronin dinks in a wonderful ball from the right, but it just misses out deadly Dirk Kuyt and Babel, who has not had his best afternoon.
31 - Transfer talk: Richard, a Spurs fan in South Africa, wants Riise to move to Tottenham. He thinks the Norwegian would solve Spurs' left-sided problem. That seems a very good point. Tottenham have been non-existent on the left today.
30 - Free-kick: Liverpool and Gerrard have a chance to deliver from wide on the left, but the Reds skipper blasts into the Spurs wall.
27 - Liverpool corner: Gerrard delivers, but Skrtel's header is gobbled up by Radek Cerny.
24 - Martin Skrtel denies Jonathan Woodgate this time and Spurs win another corner. But O'Hare fouls and Liverpool clear with a free-kick.
23 - Tottenham corner: I rest my case. Tottenham win a corner and Berbatov heads at goal, but Reina tips behind for another corner.
22 - Bye bye Berbatov: A lot of Tottenham fans seem to be keen to see Berbatov go because he does not want to play for the club. Surely Spurs would miss his quality? All a bit scrappy on the pitch as there is a clear end of season mentality.
20 - Madness: Kevin Barnes thinks Rafa Benitez will be mad to let John Arne Riise, another squad absentee, and Alonso leave. What about Jermaine Pennant? He is also missing.
18 - On top: Liverpool have snubbed out the atmosphere and Tottenham are chasing shadows at the moment.
16 - O'Hara watch: Rob has been in touch to say that O'Hara is a bright prospect and is better for Spurs than sulky Berbatov. I may have put the commentator's curse on O'Hara as he has been a bit sloppy is possession.
13 - Class: Jermaine Jenas does well to cut in from the right and feeds Berbatov who almost finds Robbie Keane with a trademark crafty back heel. However, Jose Reina is quickly off his line to snuff out the danger. Great play all round.
12 - Liverpool corner: Gerrard delivers, but Berbatov heads away at the near post. Good to know he is on the pitch.
11 - Isolated: Berbatov has not had a sniff so far. But Steed Malbranque is looking dangerous down the right.
9 - Chance: Voronin has a pop at goal, but Radek Cerny saves well. Bad news for Tottenham fans hoping for a 10th-placed finish, West Ham have scored.
8 - Nicely played: Jamie O'Hara shows a good touch and turn to move away from Steven Gerrard. He looks a decent player, what do you think Spurs fans? Don't forget it is peter.fraser@bskyb.com.
5 - Total football: Liverpool spray the ball out to Dutch winger Ryan Babel, but his touch is poor and Tottenham win a throw-in. An over-sized balloon/ball has snuck on to the pitch. maybe Babel would do better in controlling the invading object.
4 - Liverpool threat: Fernando Torres, who will have scored the most goals by a foreigner in a debut season if he nets today, is looking dangerous as he darts forward, but Michael Dawson clears well.
2 - On the front foot: Tottenham have started nicely and are passing the ball well. White Hart Lane has averaged four goals a game this season, let's hope for more of the same.
KICK-OFF: Tottenham get the game going to a sharp whistle from referee Uriah Rennie, who is bowing out at the end of the season.
Kick-off approaches: Andy has been in touch to ask where Peter Crouch is in the Liverpool squad. A very good point. It looks certain he is on his way now. Andy is also unhappy that Andrei Voronin is playing. I think it is fair to say he is not the most popular fan among Liverpool fans. Meanwhile, Cathal is wondering where Xabi Alonso, another possible summer exit, is. What do you think Tottenham fans? Neither side has had the league season they wanted, but will Spurs be able to scrape a top half finish?
Have your say: Not a great deal to play for in this one, but I've got my fingers crossed that will mean plenty of free-flowing attacking football. If rumours are to be believed this will be Dimitar Berbatov's final appearance in a Tottenham shirt and the Bulgarian will want to put on a good show. How do you think today's match will go?
