Tottenham vs Liverpool Tips

Tip 1

The Reds have scored three or more goals in three of their last five games, netting twice in both of the other games where they failed to clear this particular line.

Over the course of the season they’ve completed this bet 13 times, which includes putting five past West Ham and beating Brighton 3-2 in previous League Cup rounds.

On the other hand, Tottenham shipped three to Man United in the quarter-finals, a whopping six against Liverpool and two to Wolves, leaving them without a clean sheet in any of their last four outings.

Head-to-head wise, Liverpool have netted over two goals in three of the last four encounters.

Tip 2

The Liverpool -1 handicap bet would have been successful during nine of Liverpool’s PL victories this term, in both of their League Cup wins and in four out of five Champions League outings under Arne Slot.

Over 3.5 goals has landed in four of Spurs’ last six matches, and given Tottenham’s defensive troubles this clash could easily go the same way as the 6-3 basketball-style encounter the two played out just before Christmas.

Mohamed Salah has contributed 17 assists across all competitions during this campaign, providing at least one in five of his last seven games.

Tottenham Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Spurs have now gone four games without a win, unfortunate not to come away from their 2-1 defeat to Newcastle without anything after the visitors’ controversial equaliser was allowed to stand.

Ange Postecoglou may be without his entire defence for Liverpool’s visit as Destiny Udogie joined Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies on the sidelines. Fraser Forster is also absent through illness, with Mikey Moore, Wilson Odobert and Richarlison still unavailable due to long-term injuries.

Tottenham Predicted XI: Kinsky; Pedro Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Bissouma, Bentancur, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Son.

Liverpool Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

LFC were forced to share the spoils with rivals Manchester United in Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Anfield, however, the Reds remain five points clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table with a game in hand.

Arne Slot will only have to make do without Joe Gomez for Wednesday’s trip, who is missing because of a hamstring problem.

Liverpool Predicted XI: Kelleher; Bradley, Quansah, Konate, Tsimikas; Morton, Endo, Szoboszlai; Salah, Jota, Gakpo.
