Tottenham vs Liverpool prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2023-09-29 16:30.
Life at Tottenham has gotten off to a stellar start for Ange Postecoglou, whose team once again demonstrated their powers of recovery when coming from behind twice to draw 2-2 against bitter rivals Arsenal last outing. That not only preserved their unbeaten start to this Premier League (PL) season (W4, D2), but also opened up the opportunity to rewrite history as they could start a PL campaign unbeaten after their first seven games for just the third time.
Postecoglou himself could cement his name in the annals of both PL and Tottenham folklore, as he could become the first ever PL manager to see his side score two or more goals in each of his first seven league games in charge. Not only that, but his positive start could see him join Antonio Conte as the only other Spurs manager to begin their tenure with a seven-game PL unbeaten streak.
Opponents Liverpool also have their own milestones to chase after an even better undefeated start to this league campaign (W5, D1), where they could win at least six of their opening seven PL matches for only the third time in their history. Both prior occasions came under manager JĂĽrgen Klopp in 2018/19 and 2019/20, who should be confident of achieving it again since he has lost only one of his 18 managerial duels with Spurs (W11, D6).
It hasn’t necessarily been smooth sailing for the German in that time, however, as 14 of those matches saw both teams find the net. The Reds therefore need to equally emphasise both their attack and defence, or their current possession of the PL’s longest unbeaten streak of 17 league games (W12, D5) could be in jeopardy.
Players to watch: Spurs captain Son Heung-min’s brace in the North London derby should mean he’s confident he can continue his current three-game streak of scoring against Liverpool, who’ll be hoping for more Luis DĂaz magic since the Colombian has never lost a league game when scoring in his career (W39, D6)!
Hot stat: No side has lost more points from winning positions (451) or gained more points from losing positions (428) in PL history than Tottenham.
