Undoubtedly the highlight clash of the Gameweek sees an out-of-sorts Liverpool side travel to London to take on Spurs, who are looking to leapfrog them into the top four.
Jurgen Klopp’s charges have now won just once in their last seven matches across all competitions, with that sole win coming in the FA cup against Aston Villa’s Under 23 team, while even that wasn’t convincing as it took them over an hour to wrestle control of the game.
Jose Mourinho will be sensing a win here is extremely possible and will be wanting revenge after Roberto Firmino’s last gasp winner in the reverse fixture back in December.
That clash saw numerous missed chances as Steven Bergwijn and Harry Kane in particular both came close to joining Heung-min Son on the scoresheet, and despite Liverpool consistently edging the recent head-to-heads, these games have typically been close affairs.
The Lilywhites have now won six of eight unbeaten matches in all competitions and while that will have rebuilt some confidence, half of those matches came against lower-league opposition in the FA Cup and League Cup, while they won two of four Premier League matches in that time.
The highest top-flight team they faced were Leeds in 12th, so this will be the first real test of 2021 for the London club.
Tottenham Draw No Bet
Dominating games has not been part of Tottenham’s style this season, as they average just 49.2% possession and rank 13th in that regard.
We’d expect Liverpool to have the majority of the ball here, with only Man City bettering their 60.8%, but their lack of cutting edge at present makes it difficult to get behind them.
Liverpool have had an extremely slow start in front of goal in 2021, by any standards, and are still awaiting their first league strike of the year having failed to score in each of their four outings since a 1-1 draw with Newcastle over a month ago.
That’s 438 minutes without a goal, while on their travels this season they’ve won just two of nine league trips.
One of those came back in September over Chelsea before their injury woes hit, benefiting from Andreas Christensen’s sending off on the stroke of half time before winning it after the break, while the other came over a Palace team that have suffered a few heavy defeats this term.
Tottenham still don’t convince that they can go all the way in the league, but with steady cup progress on three fronts and momentum building again, they appear far better value at the prices.
Spurs are not just flat-track bullies with notable wins over the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal and Man City this term, so they can take advantage of Liverpool’s slump here.
Jurgen Klopp is at least boosted by the returns of Joel Matip and Sadio Mane, though Jordan Henderson is struggling with injury and the absence of Virgil van Dijk remains critical.
Tottenham’s key players are all available and they should get something from this game, and we’ll take some cover draw no bet with the Reds never likely to simply roll over.
