Liverpool vs Tottenham: match preview
Liverpool played in the UEFA Champions League in midweek and suffered a 1–0 defeat to Galatasaray. They will now have a chance to bounce back and attempt to secure a victory against Tottenham. The Merseyside club currently sit sixth in the table and have collected 48 points after 29 matches. They are only three points behind fourth place, meaning a Champions League spot is still within reach and the fight remains very much alive.
Tottenham find themselves in a dreadful situation. The club changed their head coach not long ago, with Igor Tudor replacing Thomas Frank, but the situation has only deteriorated further. The team are near the bottom of the table and have just 29 points after 29 rounds. Their advantage over the relegation zone is only one point, which is truly alarming. Moreover, they suffered a defeat in the Champions League just a few days ago, extending their losing streak to six consecutive matches — a club anti-record. Because of this, the match against Liverpool could become Tudor’s final game in charge. Reports indicate that the search for a new manager is already underway.
Probable line-ups
- Liverpool: Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Ekitike
- Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Danso, Dragusin, Spence; Gray, Sarr; Tel, Simons, Richarlison; Solanke
Prediction
Tottenham must win if they want to avoid losing yet another head coach, but Liverpool have plenty of motivation as well. My suggested bet is Liverpool over 2 team goals.
