Liverpool may no longer be top by the time they play Tottenham on Sunday afternoon. Spurs’ big win over Southampton lifted them into the top half but it is still an underwhelming league campaign thus far.

Tottenham remain one of the most baffling teams in the Premier League. The Lilywhites have registered 5-0 and 4-0 triumphs in the last 30 days but only collected one further point from their other four league games.

Spurs’ last three home matches in the top flight have seen them lose to Ipswich Town, draw with Fulham, and surrender a two-goal advantage against Chelsea in a collapse that saw them give away two daft penalties.

There is such congestion in the middle of the table, that Spurs could end up either two points from fourth place on Sunday or slide down to 13th.

Liverpool may look at the draw against Fulham last weekend as a point gained given the circumstances, as they rallied from a goal behind and a man down. Arsenal’s draw and Manchester City’s defeat also helped, but Chelsea have won five on the spin and could be ahead of the Reds before kick-off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Fulham result off the back of a draw at Newcastle United is far from ideal, but wins in the Champions League and Carabao Cup means momentum is still positive at Anfield.

Harvey Elliott’s return from injury has given Arne Slot some much-needed depth in midfield. The 21-year-old scored at Southampton on Wednesday in his first start under the new manager.

Infamous VAR Farce

Liverpool had a terrific record versus Tottenham under Jurgen Klopp, but the German’s final trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was an infuriating one for him.

Luis Diaz had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside, which led to a PGMOL apology. The Reds also felt hard done by with Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota both seeing red. To cap it all off, a Joel Matip own goal sealed the three points for Spurs in stoppage time.

A 4-1 Tottenham victory against Liverpool in 2017 is often looked back on as a turning point for the Reds. Klopp hooked Dejan Lovren after half an hour, and they signed Virgil van Dijk two months later.

Goals and plenty of drama are usually on the menu whenever Spurs play Liverpool.

Last season’s match in north London was among the most controversial games of the season, while the return fixture at Anfield was a comparatively dull six-goal thriller!

Our Betting Tip for Today

There is no reason to expect anything other than a goal-filled clash between Spurs and Liverpool, so our best bet is for both teams to score in the second half.

Spurs and Liverpool are two of the four Premier League sides to have hit the 30-goal mark for 2024-25. The Reds began the campaign with an exceptional defensive record, but that has started to wane in the absence of Ibrahima Konate.

Andy Robertson will also miss out on Sunday through suspension, leaving Slot short of options at the back. Tottenham, averaging 2.5 goals per game at home in the league, will need no second invitation to get at Liverpool.

The market recognises the likelihood of goals here, hence the Asian total line of 3.75, but the second halves of games have been particularly goal-heavy with these clubs, which offers an angle in.

Spurs have scored in all but one second half at home, while Liverpool have netted in all but one second period on the road.

Both teams to score in the second half has landed in Tottenham’s last two at home and the Reds’ last two away, which is hardly surprising given their respective firepower and defensive absentees.
