Tottenham come into this fixture sitting 11th in the Premier League, a position well below preseason expectations. Injuries and a congested fixture list have disrupted Ange Postecoglou’s plans, leaving Spurs struggling for rhythm and consistency.
While home support could play a role, Tottenham’s recent performances have raised concerns, particularly in defense. Historically, this fixture has also been problematic for the Lilywhites — they have managed just two league wins in their last 25 meetings with Liverpool, suffering 17 defeats in that run.
Last season’s meeting ended in a chaotic 6-3 loss, highlighting Spurs’ vulnerability against Liverpool’s high-intensity attack.

Liverpool arrive in London placed seventh, still within reach of the Champions League spots despite falling short of early title expectations. After heavy summer investment, Jurgen Klopp’s side have had to recalibrate their goals, but recent performances suggest they are beginning to find momentum.
The Reds boast superior depth compared to their hosts and have consistently performed well in this fixture. Even with injury concerns, Liverpool’s attacking options and midfield control should give them an edge, especially against a Spurs side lacking defensive stability.
Their recent improvement in form will give them confidence of securing maximum points in this high-profile clash.
MatchPlug Prediction for Tottenham vs Liverpool
Both managers are under pressure to deliver results, but Liverpool appear better equipped to handle the demands of this fixture. Tottenham’s struggles against elite opponents, combined with their poor historical record against the Reds, tilt the balance toward the visitors.
While Spurs may threaten at home, Liverpool’s squad depth, attacking efficiency, and strong head-to-head record should see them emerge victorious.
Final Prediction: Liverpool Moneyline
