Liverpool vs Tottenham: Preview and Prediction

Sunday 31st March 2019

England Premier League
Sunday 31st March 2019
Kick off at 4.30pm GMT
Venue: Anfield

Match Preview:

With Manchester City easing past Fulham the onus is back on Liverpool to win this game. City have gone a point clear and there is a lot now riding on this game.

If Liverpool lose they will be a point behind City and have played a game more. A draw is also no good as they would draw level, really they need to win to go 2 points clear again.

While Liverpool will be at home they will be facing a very tough opponent in Tottenham, still The Reds will start as the favourites. Jurgen Klopp’s team have won 3 of their last 4 games and as we almost enter April they have still lost just 1 game this season.

Tottenham will need to do what no team has done at Anfield this season and beat Liverpool. The Londoners are currently going through their worst form of the season where they have lost 3 of their last 4 games and have not won in the league since early February. In the process Manchester United and Arsenal have caught up with them and 3^rd place is seriously under threat.

Tottenham do have the 2^nd best away record in the league however they have lost their last 3 games in a row. The good news for the club was the announcement of their new stadium which will open officially next week after playing two warm up games for crowd safety. This is huge news for the club who are ushering in a new era. So they will arrive at Liverpool with a feel good factor.

Team News:

Liverpool: Trent Alexander-Arnold had to pull out of the England squad because of a back injury but could be fine for this match and will be assessed. Joseph Gomez looks like he will miss out again through fitness issues. Naby Keita looks to have recovered from his muscle injury. Xherdan Shaqiri will be assessed because of his groin injury

Tottenham: Serge Aurier is out with his hamstring, Eric Dier will miss this game with a hip injury. Harry Winks is still missing after picking up a groin injury earlier in the month

Liverpool vs Tottenham Prediction:

Tottenham will provide a threat and even though they are in the midst of some poor form the break came at the right time for the club who can try and refocus. Make no mistake they will have chances to punish Liverpool. At the same time we have to respect the quality of Liverpool, and we are going to back them to win on the handicap. There are goals in this side and Sadio Mane is on fire and Mohamed Salah has found his stride again. When playing at Anfield Liverpool usually score a few goals against Tottenham and we can see that happening again.
