Liverpool’s ranking in world football has taken a hit this week, but they are still not as bad as Tottenham Hotspur.

Arne Slot’s men play host to Spurs in a Premier League meeting on Sunday, aiming to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

After that defeat, Opta’s Power Rankings have now moved Liverpool down to the seventh-best team in the world, while Tottenham’s rapid decline sees them sitting 36th.

Liverpool fall to seventh in Opta Power Rankings

The rankings, which are updated daily, currently give Slot’s side a rating of 94.7 out of 100.

That means they have been pushed down three places since their loss to Galatasaray, with PSG, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid all climbing above them.

Madrid are the biggest risers on March 13 after they hammered Manchester City 3-0 in their first-leg last-16 tie.

Tottenham, on the other hand, were bested by Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, and Opta have now relegated them a staggering 12 places down the rankings to 36th place.

At present, the new-look top five, which Liverpool were previously in, is now made up of Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Manchester City and Real Madrid, with PSG up to sixth after they beat Chelsea.

While there’s no reward for finishing the season high or low in Opta’s rankings, it does give a good indication of how a team is faring.

Arsenal, for example, are top of the Premier League and still competing in three cup competitions, meaning they have been in first place for much of the season.

Liverpool, meanwhile, could be out of the Champions League this time next week, and they aren’t even in the top five of the division right now.

Despite their continued struggles, recent reports have suggested Slot is staying at Anfield, and there are no plans in place to sack the Dutchman.

However, that surely won’t still be the line pushed by the club come the end of May if he hasn’t won any silverware and failed to qualify for the Champions League.
