Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Liverpool FC, English Premier League 2024-25, Today Match Prediction

Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Liverpool FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Tottenham Hotspur delivered a dominant performance against Southampton, winning emphatically and easing pressure on manager Postecoglou. Maddison's early goal set the tone for a five-goal first half, with contributions from Son, Kulusevski, and Sarr. Despite inconsistent Sunday form due to European commitments, Spurs' attacking prowess is evident, ranking second in league scoring with 36 goals. Son's 68 assists now make him Tottenham's joint-leading Premier League provider. While close to a Champions League spot, they trail the league leaders significantly.

Liverpool enters the match with momentum after a crucial midweek Carabao Cup win against Southampton, ending Nunez's goal drought. Despite a previous draw against Fulham while playing with 10 men, Liverpool demonstrated resilience and maintained possession. Gravenberch has thrived in the number 6 role, filling the void left by Fabinho. Jota's return and goalscoring ability further strengthens Liverpool's attack. 

Head to Head Record: Both teams have played each other 64 times. Spurs have won 16 times. Liverpool has won 32, with 17 draws being played out. Spurs have scored 77 goals against Liverpool. The Reds have scored 114 against the North London club. 

Current Standings : The Lilywhites are in 10th with 23 points. Liverpool are leading the league with 36 points from 15 games. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

When Spurs last took on Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, controversy surrounded the fixture about a VAR decision that will surely be echoing this time round. The Lilywhites went on to win that game 2-1, courtesy of an own goal by Joel Matip. Ange Postcoglou will be unhappy with his keeper’s display against United in the midweek cup game. 

Spurs have now only managed to keep a single clean sheet in 23 Premier League home games. That was a 4-0 win against Everton. But the team’s current home record is poor; Spurs losing against Bournemouth and Chelsea and picking up a point against Fulham. Like Maddison’s 40 second opener against Southampton, the boys in white will look at having a strong start against the leaders. Spurs have scored 9 goals in the opening 15 minutes of games - more than any other team in the Premier League. 

The Spurs are ranked 13th in ball possession with 46.9% averaging 15.6 shots per game. The Spurs score an average of 2.25 goals per match with a shooting accuracy of 39%. James Maddison is the top scorer with 7 goals. Brennan Johnson has also scored 6 goals this season. The team has an average of 3.1 saves per game, the 11th best in the season. They have conceded an average of 1.19 goals per match.

Player to watch out for

Son needs just one more assist to become the club’s leading provider. The South Korean has been a sublime servant to the club, even after Harry Kane’s departure. Arguably Asia’s best footballer has been leading from the front and dragging spurs across the finish line. 

Injury - Odobert, Richarlison, Moore, Vicario, Davies, Romero and van den Ven are out injured. 

Spurs Probable 11 - Foster (GK), Spence, Dragusin, Gray, Udogie (DEF), Sarr, Bergvall, Kulusevski, Maddison, Son (MID), Solanke (FWD).

Liverpool FC Preview

If Liverpool beat Spurs, they will end up with 39 points to their name. The Reds have only lost 2 of their 23 Premier League games to Spurs - winning 15 and drawing 6 in the process. With Konate out injured and the Reds back line being shuffled, Slot’s men have shipped more goals than they used to. Liverpool’s first 8 games endorsed a marshalled team where they shipped only 3 goals. As opposed to the 10 they’ve conceded in the last 7 games. At this stage of the season, one of the biggest gifts for managers is having all players fit and fired up. The Reds rarely or never draw three games in a row. 

 Liverpool are ranked 3rd in ball possession with 57.4% averaging 15.5 shots per game. The Reds score an average of 2.07 goals per match with a shooting accuracy of 40%. Mohamed Salah is the top scorer with 13 goals. Luis Diaz has also scored 5 goals this season. The team has an average of 2.7 saves per game, the 15th best in the season. They have conceded an average of 0.87 goals per match.

Player to watch out for

The Kop sings the praises of an Egyptian King running down the wing. Not just that, the winger has been running the league this season - after being involved in 22 of Liverpool’s 31 Premier League goals this season. That is 71% of the team’s goals and good enough maybe to give Salah a couple more years on his contract. Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Jota and Gakpo chip in to help the Egyptian whenever they can, but Salah being Salah needs no help. He could become the first player in Premier League history to reach double figures for goals and assists in a single campaign before Christmas. He currently has 13 goals and 9 assists. That could potentially be one of Salah’s most unique Christmas presents. 

Injury - Bradley and Konate are all out injured. 

Liverpool Probable 11 - Allison (GK), Trent, Gomez, Van Dijk, Tsimikas (DEF), MacAllister, Gravenberch, Curtis (MID), Salah, Diaz, Gakpo (FWD).

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC vs LIVERPOOL FC
Winning Prediction

Liverpool have been in red hot form. They were a man down against Fulham, but played as if they had the added advantage. Yes, they’ve dropped 4 points from the past 2 games but Newcastle and Fulham are relatively good sides. The most important thing is now to travel to Spurs and extract 3 points from what appears to be a shaky side. The Spurs back line is going to find it elusive dealing with Salah. Liverpool will go full throttle and return to winning ways and Merseyside with 3 big points.
