Liverpool vs Tottenham Preview and Team News 

Liverpool Team News

Liverpool approach Sunday evening knowing a victory will crown them champions.

They enter match-week 34 on 82 points, thirteen clear of Arsenal, and just one away win from securing a record-equalling twentieth English crown. This, after edging Leicester thanks to Trent Alexander-Arnold’s first-time half-volley nine minutes from time.

That result followed Virgil van Dijk’s late header to beat West Ham and Diogo Jota’s derby winner against Everton, meaning Slot’s men have taken 28 of the last 30 possible points while conceding only three open-play goals in that stretch.

Slot has alternated 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 shapes, but the constant is a ‘fluid five-lane’ attacking structure in which Dominik Szoboszlai drifts from the right half-space to the centre zone, allowing Mohamed Salah to occupy a narrower finishing area.

Tottenham Team News

Tottenham arrive clinging to a Europa League-fuelled sense of purpose after their domestic form collapsed. 

Spurs conceded six goals in successive Premier League defeats at Wolves and at home to Nottingham Forest, book-ending their dogged 1-0 victory in Germany that kept their continental campaign alive.

Ange Postecoglou continues to be without Heung-Min Son and must manage James Maddison through an ankle issue that restricted him to only 45 minutes in Frankfurt.

Son continues to recover from his injury and will not return until next weekend at the earliest.

James Maddison trained individually on Tuesday, but Postecoglou insists “he’s fine” and expects him to start as the central. Radu Drăgușin’s ACL surgery leaves Tottenham short at centre-back, so Micky van de Ven partners Cristian Romero again. 

The Australian coach will probably persist with the 4-3-3 that morphs into a 2-3-5 in possession via Porro’s and Udogie’s inside movements. It’s a mechanism that looked incisive in autumn but now exposes the back-pair whenever the counter-press is breached.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Head-to-Head Statistics

This fixture has yielded 13 points from the last 18 available for Liverpool in the Premier League, including an astonishing 6-3 away triumph at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in December.

In January, these teams met in the semifinal of the Carabao Cup. Tottenham beat Liverpool 1-0 at home in the first leg. However, in the second leg, the Reds defeated the Spurs 4-0.

Liverpool have 89 wins to Tottenham’s 48 in all competitions, alongside 43 draws.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Player Focus

Mo Salah sits on 34 goal involvements in the league, nine short of his own record. His gravity enables Luis Díaz and Cody Gakpo to attack the space behind Tottenham`s back line. 

Van Dijk’s aerial duel metrics have climbed back over 80 %, a critical factor against Solanke’s near-post bursts.

For Tottenham, Maddison’s craft between the lines remains their best route to resist Liverpool’s counterpress, yet his risk-heavy passing feeds directly into Slot’s trap of three central midfielders collapsing around the ball. 

Liverpool vs Tottenham Tactical Analysis

Slot’s Liverpool are a study in collective height control. When the ball is lost, Szoboszlai springs forward to block the pivot. Gravenberch covers the blind-side lane, and Mac Allister screens central progression. They form an immediate 4-2-4 counter-press that has produced a league-high 56 high-turnover shots.

Against Leicester, this clamp forced five regains in the final third inside the first ten minutes.

Tottenham’s recent matches suggest they’re vulnerable to exactly that pattern. Against Wolves, Bentancur and Bissouma were positioned on different vertical lines, leaving the back four vulnerable whenever the initial pass went wide. The sequence led to Aït-Nouri’s opener.

Ange Postecoglou’s build-up aims to overload the centre by tucking both full-backs inside, giving Maddison a free role to dribble into the pocket and feed Solanke.

But without Son stretching the last line, Tottenham’s width depends on Brennan Johnson and Mathys Tel hugging the touchline.

If Tottenham commit numbers forward, Salah’s and Díaz’s double-movements behind Porro and Davies threaten open grass.

Expect Slot to start Alexander-Arnold in an inverted fullback role as usual, tilting the shape into a midfield box. 

This not only gives Salah inside-right support but also pins Maddison deeper, blunting Tottenham’s best transition outlet. Spurs’ countermeasure would be to target Alexander-Arnold’s vacated channel with quick diagonals. However, that requires pinpoint distribution from Romero and the kind of telepathic timing Son usually supplies. In his absence, Mathys Tel is likely to play in this position.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Prediction 

  • Pick: Liverpool to win
  • Odds: 1.24 (22Bet)
  • Score prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham

​Liverpool’s balance between rest-defence and vertical incision, allied to superior fitness depth, should eventually overwhelm Tottenham’s fragile press. Expect the champions-in-waiting to control rhythm for long stretches, force turnovers that create running lanes for Salah and Díaz. They’ll exploit aerial mismatches on set pieces. 

Spurs may manufacture moments through Maddison’s guile and Solanke’s penalty-box instincts. Sustaining possession against Liverpool’s wave-press for 90 minutes, however, looks improbable.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Liverpool. Total Over 1.5
  • Odds: 1.23 (22Bet)

Liverpool have demonstrated a potent attacking force throughout the 2024-2025 Premier League season. Their attacking capabilities are evident in their consistent goal-scoring record, with key players like Mohamed Salah contributing significantly. Salah, for instance, has been instrumental in Liverpool’s attack, providing both goals and assists. ​

Tottenham Hotspur have struggled defensively this term, conceding a total of 51 goals in the Premier League. 

Recent matches have exposed their defensive frailties, such as the 4-2 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, where defensive errors were a significant factor. These lapses suggest that Tottenham’s defence can be penetrated by teams with strong attacking units like Liverpool.​

Liverpool are on the cusp of securing the Premier League title, needing just one more win to clinch it. This high-stakes scenario is likely to motivate the team to perform at their best, especially in front of their home fans at Anfield. The desire to secure the victory promptly could translate into an aggressive attacking approach, increasing the likelihood of scoring multiple goals.
