Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview

Two teams desperate for a lifeline in the battle for a European place. Anfield host Liverpool vs Tottenham in Premier League on Sunday. Liverpool secured their third consecutive victory in the Premier League midweek against West Ham. However, they must maintain their high level of performance to have any chance of finishing in the top four. Meanwhile, Tottenham showed resilience in the second half of their 2-2 draw against Man Utd but appeared fatigued by the end of the match. They may struggle against an energetic Liverpool team who have lost just one home game this season.

Neither team is likely to reach the Champions League this year, with Tottenham trailing Manchester United by six points and Liverpool seven points behind with one extra game played. Furthermore, Newcastle United sit nine points ahead of Liverpool having played the same number of games. Despite Liverpool’s recent struggles, they have an impressive home record, winning 10 of their 15 matches at Anfield this season. Additionally, they have only lost one of their last 20 Premier League matches against Tottenham, winning 13 of them. Tottenham, on the other hand, have won only two of their last 35 away league matches against Liverpool and have already conceded 31 away goals this season, the most since the 2008/09 season.

Recent Form

Spurs managed to avoid any new injuries during their intense match against Manchester United, with Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur remaining their only long-term absentees. Liverpool has been the dominant team in the 52 matches between the two clubs, winning 27 of them, compared to Tottenham’s 12. The teams have drawn on 13 occasions. Liverpool has won four of the last six meetings between the clubs.

This week, Liverpool’s sole focus will be on their match against Tottenham. During their last game against West Ham, Liverpool had 72% of ball possession, recorded 18 shots in attack, and conceded only seven shots.
