Premier League: Liverpool vs Tottenham live
Preview
Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool square off this Sunday in a highly-anticipated Premier League matchup at Anfield. Spurs recently fought back from two goals down for a draw with Manchester United, while the Reds edged out West Ham United. The match is set to start at 3:30pm (GMT) and promises to be an entertaining affair.
Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s manager, expressed satisfaction with his team’s comeback victory against West Ham, in which they secured their third consecutive Premier League win. The Reds are now in contention for some form of continental football, including the Champions League, Europa League, or Europa Conference League. They have scored at least twice in their last four Premier League games but have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four matches. Liverpool has amassed 34 points from 15 Premier League home games, with only Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United outperforming them.
Tottenham struggled in the first half of their game against Manchester United on Wednesday, falling behind by two goals. However, a rousing half-time talk from manager Ryan Mason seemed to motivate his team, and they emerged from the match with a draw after Pedro Porro and Son Heung-min scored to cancel out earlier goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford. While the result is a boost for Mason, Tottenham’s hopes of finishing in the top four remain slim, as they are currently in fifth place and six points behind Manchester United with two games in hand. Tottenham’s defense has been lackluster recently, as they have gone seven games without keeping a clean sheet. They face a tough match against Liverpool next, against whom they have not won in their last 11 meetings. While a draw at Anfield would be a satisfactory outcome for both teams, they are both aiming for a place in the top four.
Head-to-Head
In their last five Premier League encounters with Tottenham, Liverpool have remained undefeated, winning three of those matches and drawing the other two.
Prediction
Games between Tottenham and Liverpool have traditionally been thrilling encounters, with both teams seeking to secure a positive result in order to bolster their chances of qualifying for the Champions League. Tottenham’s last victory at Anfield dates back to 2011, giving Liverpool an advantage on their home turf. Despite this, we anticipate that it will be a high-scoring draw.
