Tottenham and Liverpool meet at White Hart Lane on Sunday in their final game of the Premier League season as both sides set their sights firmly on the next campaign.

Spurs began the season with their then manager Martin Jol charged with the task of securing UEFA Champions League qualification, however dreams of a place in Europe's premier club competition now seem almost as distant as the memory of their former Dutch boss.

Jol was relieved of his duties in October 2007 and while his replacement - Juande Ramos - has steadied the ship, the best Tottenham can hope for is a 10th-placed finish.

Meanwhile, Liverpool were being touted as genuine contenders to end their 18-year top-flight title drought this term, but the Reds have been forced to settle for the fourth spot on which Tottenham had set their pre-season sights.

Berbatov recovery

The Reds have failed to live up to their billing this year and manager Rafa Benitez is already planning for the summer transfer market as he bids to make next season count.

Ramos is also expected to spend in the close-season and it is likely that a replacement for striker Dimitar Berbatov will be a priority.

Berbatov has shaken off a groin injury, but an outing against Liverpool is expected to be a farewell appearance in North London as the Bulgarian seeks Champions League football.

Winger Aaron Lennon (knee) is a doubt after missing out against Reading and goalkeeper Paul Robinson, who has been out of action for the past month, is expected to be remain unavailable after aggravating his ankle injury.

Aurelio return

Ledley King, Gareth Bale and Benoit Assou-Ekotto have been long-term absentees, but Teemu Tainio has resumed training after recovering from an Achilles injury.

In a style similar to Spurs with Berbatov, Liverpool also look set to be offering players the opportunity to say goodbye as £15million-rated Peter Crouch is expected to feature against his first club and out of contract Australian winger Harry Kewell could play in what would be his final appearance for Liverpool.

Full-back Fabio Aurelio may return after recovering from a torn abductor muscle as Liverpool, who have 117 goals in all competitions this season, look to maintain their status as the top scorers in English football.

Daniel Agger has returned to training following an injury-hit campaign but the Danish centre-back will not be rushed back into action in a bid to protect Jose Reina, who needs just one more shutout to add to his 17 clean sheets so far this season to guarantee the league's 'golden gloves' award.
