Premier League: Liverpool x Tottenham News, Predictions and Odds (05/05/2024)

Sunday's marquee matchup in the Premier League pits two titans stumbling towards the finish line at Anfield. Both Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are attempting to rectify recent errors.

This weekend, the title prospects of Jurgen Klopp's squad may vanish, whereas Spurs are potentially one loss away from elimination from Champions League contention.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

Liverpool has recorded thirteen victories, three draws, and one defeat in seventeen home Premier League matches this season.

Tottenham suffered consecutive league losses to Newcastle, Arsenal, and Chelsea, conceding nine goals. In all but one of Tottenham's previous sixteen league contests, three or more goals were scored.

In the season's crucible, neither Liverpool nor Tottenham have lived up to the expectations of their supporters. The Reds lost all hope of securing the Premier League championship with a single point from their last two league matches, which were played against Everton and West Ham, among others.

Spurs have recently endured consecutive losses to Newcastle and Arsenal. The process has cost them seven goals conceded. They encountered Chelsea in midweek, trailing Aston Villa by seven points, occupying the fourth position.

Liverpool v Tottenham – predicted line-ups

Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endo, Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.

Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Van de Ven; Bissouma, Hojbjerg; Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson; Son.

Our Predictions

Over 3.5 goals (1.70) @ Sky247.ng

Liverpool should benefit from an eight-day hiatus since their last match, which would be an ideal opportunity to rejuvenate following a frantic and disastrous April despite their recent poor performance.

Sunday being Klopp's penultimate Anfield match and the Reds no longer being in the title race, the Reds might be in a better mood and exhibit more fluidity in their play due to the lack of pressure.

In contrast, Spurs will aggressively pursue fourth-place Villa, particularly since last night's victory over PSG by Borussia Dortmund affirmed that fifth place in the Premier League will not be sufficient to qualify for the Champions League the following season.

Mohammed Salah to score anytime (1.75) @ Sky247.ng

With Tottenham's visit to Anfield, Liverpool will be hopeful that Mohamed Salah is in peak form. The Egyptian is typically at ease when facing Tottenham, having scored fourteen more goals against Manchester United than against the North London club. All eleven of those goals have been scored during his tenure at Liverpool, and against Tottenham in the league last season, Salah scored both at home and away. Egyptian has averaged 1.9 shots on target per 90 minutes in the Premier League thus far this season, with an excellent 0.8 goals.
