Tottenham Hotspur-Liverpool

Tottenham take on Liverpool in table-top clash.

Tottenham | DWWWW | 4th | Top Scorer: Son Heungmin (5)

Unbeaten in their last 6, Tottenham are sure to be full of confidence here. With an average of 15.2 passes into the box per game and the 3rd highest number of assists in the league, it's clear Tottenham have great link-up play going forward. Yves Bissouma will look to break up more attacks in this match. He's been vital for Tottenham in recent weeks, averaging 2.6 tackles per match in his last 5.

Liverpool | WWWWW | 2nd | Top Scorer: Mohamed Salah (3)

Liverpool arrive with confidence and are unbeaten in their last 6 games. They have been formidable going forward this season and their average xG (expected goals) of 2.24 is the highest in the league. Liverpool will hope Mohamed Salah can continue to create chances. His 4 assists this season is the highest in the league. One stat to note, key aggressor Alexis Mac Allister will be looking to improve after recording just 1.2 tackles per match in his last 5.

Tottenham-Liverpool Prediction: 0-1

Liverpool's reliable defence could make the difference for them on the road in this fixture.

Did you know? The most goals conceded by Tottenham at home in a Premier League match occurred in 1997, when Spurs lost 1-6 to Chelsea.

Liverpool – Season Preview

Nickname: The Reds
Stadium: Anfield (Capacity 54,000)
Manager: Jurgen Klopp (GER)
Last Season: 5th

Liverpool fans will be expecting a vast improvement on last season’s poor campaign, and should be optimistic about their prospects going into this one. An influx of new faces in midfield, an evolved formation and a clear-out of ageing players should mean that Liverpool are at least competing for Champions League places again this year, if not the Premier League title.

Key Player: Trent Alexander-Arnold

One of the few positives Reds fans can take from last season was Trent’s transition into his new, hybrid role. Drifting into midfield gives Trent more opportunity to use his exquisite distribution skills in other areas of the pitch, rather than endlessly crossing the ball in from the right hand-side. Couple Trent’s new role with the array of attacking talent Liverpool have at their disposal, and you’ve got a nightmare to defend against.

Star Signing: Dominic Szoboszlai £60m

Liverpool lacked creativity and goals from midfield last season, and Dominic Szoboszlai brings both. A supremely talented player, Szoboszlai is capable of beating players one on one, picking an inch-perfect pass and scoring a screamer from distance. He’s also just as comfortable out on the wing as he is in midfield, and as such will bring a versatile attacking element to Jurgen Klopp’s side.

First Match: Chelsea (A) August 13

Liverpool travel to Stamford Bridge for their first match of the campaign, and will be faced with a Chelsea side who’ll be similarly desperate to improve on last season’s returns.

Predicted Finish: 2nd

It’s hard to imagine anyone beating Pep Guardiola’s monstrous Man City side for the title. Liverpool, however, have a point to prove this season, and with a refreshed, reinvigorated midfield and Jurgen Klopp at the helm, you can expect to see the Reds back in the Champions League very soon. 

Will the Reds get back into the Champions League this season?

Liverpool - Top 4 Finish: 1.50
