Liverpool vs Tottenham prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – February 6, 2025
One of the return leg semi-final matches of the English Football League Cup will be played on Thursday at Anfield, where local Liverpool will host Tottenham. Here's a bet suggestion on goals in this match with good chances of success.
Match Preview
The Merseysiders are rightly considered one of the surprises of the current season. Although Liverpool has always been a top club, their outstanding results under the management of Arne Slot have come as a real surprise. In the Premier League, the team looks undeniably strong, having lost only once in 23 rounds. Over the weekend, the Reds won 2-0 away against Bournemouth.
In the Champions League, Liverpool finished the group stage in first place, and they are confidently progressing in the FA Cup as well. Additionally, the team is just one step away from reaching the final of the League Cup. However, in the upcoming match, the Merseysiders will need to come from behind after losing 0-1 away to Tottenham in the first semi-final.
In their last encounter with Liverpool, Tottenham managed to surprise, but unfortunately, there is little to praise the team for. Under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs play dynamic and attractive football, but their lack of consistent results overshadows all the positive moments.
The 2-0 win over Brentford in the last round was only their first victory in the last eight Premier League matches, allowing Spurs to overtake West Ham and rise to 14th place. As a result, Tottenham's hopes now rest on successful results in the Europa League and domestic cups.
Probable Lineups
- Liverpool: Alisson Becker – Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson, Ibrahima Konaté – Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch – Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah – Luis Díaz
