TEAMS PREVIEW

Liverpool FC Preview

Milestones are meant to be memorable, but for Arne Slot, his 100th game as Liverpool manager ended in disappointment with a Champions League defeat to Galatasaray. A goal from a corner—remarkably the 10th set-piece goal Liverpool have conceded this season—proved decisive. 

Meanwhile, due to the tight schedule, the Reds will get a chance to respond in the return leg at home next week, but first their focus shifts back to the Premier League after a 2–1 loss to Wolves. Facing a struggling Tottenham side could offer the perfect opportunity to bounce back, and a win on Sunday might lift Liverpool into fourth or fifth place depending on other results. 

Stats that matter 

1. Liverpool have lost nine games in the league this season, more than what they did in the last two seasons.
2. Mo Salah has 16 goals in his career against Tottenham in all competitions, which is joint most he has scored against a single opponent.
3. Liverpool have managed to win only twice in the last five league games at home. 

Team News 

Aside from their long-term absentees, Liverpool have two fresh concerns ahead of the match. Federico Chiesa is a doubt after missing the trip to Istanbul due to illness, while goalkeeper Alisson Becker also sat out the game after experiencing some discomfort. 

Liverpool Probable XI - Alisson Becker/ Mamardashvili (GK); Gomez, I Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez, Ryan Gravenberch,  Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah,  Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Hugo Ekitiké

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

For English clubs, the midweek Champions League fixtures were far from kind, but Tottenham endured the worst of it with a heavy 5–2 defeat to Atletico Madrid. Goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky had a night to forget, conceding three goals in the opening 17 minutes—two of them stemming from his own errors—before being substituted.

The result only deepens Spurs’ struggles, leaving Igor Tudor searching for answers as the team’s poor form continues. With their Premier League campaign already faltering and just one point separating them from 18th-placed West Ham, the defeat risks further denting their confidence heading into the weekend. 

Stats that matter 

1. The loss to Atletico Madrid marked Igor Tudor’s fourth consecutive defeat since taking charge from Thomas Frank.
2. Tottenham are yet to register a Premier League win in February and  are on a five-match losing streak.
3. The Spurs have earned 19 of their 29 points in the league away from home. 

Team News

Tottenham’s injury concerns continue to mount, with Cristian Romero and João Palhinha both picking up knocks after a heavy collision in the midweek clash. Neither has been ruled out of the weekend fixture yet, but their availability remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Micky van de Ven will miss the game due to suspension. 

Tottenham Probable XI - Vicario (GK); Radu Drăgușin, Cristian Romero, Kevin Danso, Pedro Porro, Conor Gallagher, Archie Gray, Djed Spence, Richarlison, Dominic Solanke, Mathys Tel

Winning Prediction

It’s a clash between two teams going through a difficult phase, though Tottenham’s struggles have been more severe. Liverpool also have history on their side, having lost just once in their last 31 home league meetings with Spurs, which makes them clear favourites for this encounter. 

The bookmakers reflect that advantage as well, pricing Liverpool at 1.30 for a win, while Tottenham are outsiders at 8.50 and the draw stands at 6.00.
