Tottenham vs Liverpool prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-12-19 17:30.
[p]Tottenham are fighting to keep in touch with the European placings and now face a Liverpool side preparing for what could be more than a temporary absence of Mo Salah.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has warned supporters to prepare for more pain, saying there is “no quick fix” to their dire Premier League campaign after “a very bad performance” away to Nottingham Forest (L 3-0). Despite a top-eight Champions League spot being within reach, Spurs have won only one of seven Premier League fixtures since the start of November (D2, L4). Their only win and clean sheet in that period came against Brentford (2-0), who were the highest-ranked club (15th at the start of the round) that Tottenham have defeated at home, so some cynicism could be warranted as that Brentford win was their first in seven Premier League home outings (D2, L4). [/p]
[p]Salah’s embrace of the Kop after Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Brighton prompted speculation that the end of his eight-year stay was nigh. They have been able to plan in advance for his AFCON campaign and now that they are on a four-game unbeaten run in this competition (W2, D2), have a fantastic opportunity to stay in touch with, or even break into the top four by the end of 2025. The Reds have struggled against the league’s elite clubs this season but have been able to punch down, winning six of ten Premier League games against sides starting this round beneath them in the standings (D2, L2), including three of five on the road (D1, L1). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Liverpool have a tremendous record of 11 wins against Spurs (D2, L1) across the last seven seasons of the Premier League, scoring no less than 15 times across the last three league meetings![/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Eight of Tottenham’s last nine competitive games produced over 2.5 goals. [/p]
[p]Only 38% of Tottenham’s 16 league games this season were won by the pre-match favourite (W6, D5, L5). [/p]
[p]A joint-league high 88% of Liverpool’s league games this term were won by the team that scored first. [/p]
[p]Eight of Liverpool’s last 11 games in all competitions saw only the winning team score. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]After scoring in two of his last five club games, Mohammed Kudus will have plenty of motivation to continue his good form, having lost eight of nine games against Liverpool (D1). Liverpool could ask Alexander Isak to draw from his outstanding history against Spurs which has seen him score in and win four of his five games against Tottenham (L1).[/p]
[p]Tottenham have a number of absentees, including Destiny Udogie who won’t be seen until January. Cody Gakpo is weeks away from returning for Liverpool, whilst Joe Gomez and Dominik Szoboszlai are doubtful after leaving last round’s game prematurely. [/p]
