Liverpool face off with Tottenham Hotspur in what could be a pivotal Premier League match at Anfield this Sunday. Liverpool need just one point to claim their second Premier League title, while Tottenham are largely playing for pride at this stage, with a bottom-half finish practically a guarantee.
So, can the Reds claim the ultimate prize this weekend, or can Spurs somehow make them wait?
Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Tottenham's record against Liverpool at Anfield is truly appalling, something which should give Arne Slot's side a lot of confidence. Spurs have not won there since 2011, and have lost five of their last six visits. They've also conceded four goals in all three of their most recent games there.
- Following Arsenal's draw with Crystal Palace this week, Liverpool only need a single point to claim their second Premier League title this weekend. If they can do this, Arne Slot will become the first manager to claim the league title in his first season since Antonio Conte did it with Chelsea in 2016-17.
- Tottenham have now won just once in their last seven Premier League matches, and that win came against relegated Southampton. Worryingly, they have only won five away league matches all season.
- Liverpool have been dominant throughout the 2024-25 campaign and have only lost two of their 33 matches. Interestingly, though, they have only scored more than three goals in three matches. One of those games, though, was their 3-6 win over Tottenham in December.
- Tottenham are likely to have one eye firmly on their Europa League semi-final with Bodo/Glimt on Thursday. That means that Ange Postecoglou may well rotate his side heavily for this game, with key players like Mickey van de Ven and Dominic Solanke potentially looking at being rested.
Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction
Given the stakes for Liverpool here, the pressure could be on them. However, the fact that they're still likely to win the title even if they lose here, and only need a single point anyway, means they will have confidence.
Giving them more confidence will be the appalling record that Tottenham have at Anfield in recent years, as well as the generally poor form of Spurs in general.
We should expect goals here, as Tottenham rarely fail to find the net and have already conceded ten goals in three matches against Liverpool this season, while scoring four in return.
However, it's unlikely an upset will occur here, meaning the Liverpool fans should see their side crowned champions this weekend.
Prediction: Liverpool 4-2 Tottenham Hotspur
