Liverpool travel to play Tottenham Hotspur seeking to maintain their hold on top spot in the EPL. After 16 rounds of play, the visitors have a two-point cushion atop the table while Tottenham are in 10th place. Our prediction for this match is included below.
Tottenham are coming off an exciting 4-3 victory against Manchester United that powered them to the League Cup semi-finals. It was the second successive match in which they had scored at least four goals.
Ange Postecoglou’s men are on 23 points and can move to within a point of the European places with a win here.
Liverpool haven’t lost in 20 fixtures across all competitions. The Reds are loving life under Arne Slot. They are top in the league as well in the Champions League and only three times have they failed to win in this unbeaten stretch.
The visitors are also coming off a League Cup win. A much-changed team defeated Southampton 2-1 away from home to advance into the last four. Liverpool, who have a game in hand, have drawn their last two league games.
This has seen their advantage at the top significantly reduced by second-placed Chelsea as well as Arsenal in third. The Merseyside club has won 11 of its 15 games in the league.
Our prediction for Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool is for over 3.5 goals to be scored in this match. Matches between Liverpool and Spurs have often been high scoring.
For instance, at least six goals have been scored in two of the last three battles. We could see another explosive duel given how dominant in attack both teams have been this season. Spurs and Liverpool are two of four times that have scored at least 30 goals in the league.
