Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur

One of the most highly anticipated fixtures on the Premier League schedule takes place at Anfield as Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head in a mouth-watering contest.

Liverpool came from behind to beat West Ham United 2-1 in midweek Premier League action, stretching their winning league streak to three matches. Despite going unbeaten in their last five top-flight outings (W3, D2), the ‘Reds’ are no longer part of the Champions League picture but could still secure Europa League promotion. With one point separating them from fifth-placed Aston Villa, Jurgen Klopp’s lads come into this showdown looking to build on a jaw-dropping 20-game Premier League form against Tottenham (W13, D6, L1). Unbeaten in their last ten league H2Hs since a 4-1 demolition in 2017, the Merseyside heavyweights must be confident about improving their outrageous home record in the Premier League this term (W10, D4, L1). No strangers to winning despite conceding, Klopp’s time could string together four league wins without a clean sheet for the second time this season.

On the other hand, visiting Tottenham Hotspur fought back from a 2-0 halftime deficit to hold Manchester United to an enthralling 2-2 home draw last time out, bouncing back from back-to-back league defeats. However, Ryan Mason may have avoided defeat on his touchline debut, but that stalemate against United rendered the visitors’ top-four hopes out of reach. Hitting the road often spells trouble for ‘Spurs,’ as they’ve failed to win any of their last five away league matches (D2, L3), ominously conceding 3+ goals on three occasions. Overall this season, they’ve capitulated 31 times away from home in the Premier League, already their worst defensive record in a top-flight season since 2008/09.
