Liverpool v Tottenham Betting Preview – Premier League 11th February 5.30pm
This is a great game with high importance running on. Liverpool have slumped to a five match winless streak in the top flight and they look as if they are running out of steam. They suffered a shock loss at Hull last weekend and have to find a response to having fallen out of the title race. As for Spurs they have managed to remain unbeaten in the Premier League now for nine games, but they have found wins hard to come by at Anfield in recent times and the Lilywhites have struggled to put wins on the board in the top flight recently as well. Can they deliver where Chelsea failed recently and land a win at Anfield?

Liverpool v Tottenham Betting Tips
Can Liverpool get the boost that they so desperately need out of this one? Jurgen Klopp’s men have put together a poor five match winless streak (D3 L2) in the top flight at the moment. Their home form has been average at best with a W2 D2 L1 record posted in their last five there, which is in stark contrast to them going W5 D1 in their first six home matches of the season. They have failed to win either of their last two home games, having suffered a shock defeat against the relegation-threatened Swansea and then playing out a draw with Chelsea there. So that’s back to back winless games at Anfield for them this season for the first time. Liverpool played out a 1-1 draw with Spurs earlier in the season at White Hart Lane and you have a price of 11/2 on a 1-1 correct score at Betfair appearing in this one as well. Liverpool are pretty strong in the head to head it has to be said as they are unbeaten in their last eight against Spurs in the top flight (W5 D3) and they have won three of their last four home games against Spurs as well (D1). Liverpool remain unbeaten against top six opposition this season so should hold their own.
They handled the high-flying, in-from Chelsea at Anfield recently, playing out a draw with the champions elect. The thing about Liverpool is that they don’t look as creative or potent going forward at the moment as they were over the first half of the season. But still, they have only failed to score at least two goals in two of their eleven homes games this season. Still, there is a quote of 5/6 on under 2.5 goals for the game because they will be taking on a tough Spurs defence and again, you have to take into consideration the misfiring Reds attack. Liverpool just don’t look totally confident at the moment and they have actually taken just one win in ten matches across all competitions this year, in a really poor stretch of form. In the Betfair anytime goalscorer market Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho are all around the 2/1 mark. Mane is the one with the goalscoring form for Liverpool this season, but no-one is standing out at the moment James Milner scored a penalty at White Hart Lane in the 1-1 draw this season and Liverpool have scored more penalties than any other Premier League side this season (6) and they have also scored 12 penalties against Spurs in the Premier League, the most by a team against an opponent in the history of the competition.
You have a quote of 5/2 on a penalty being awarded in the match. Tottenham are in a run of great form at the moment, having gone unbeaten in nine (W7 D2). So they have been in great nick and have improved to W2 D2 in their last four on the road as well. Those have been the only two wins in their last nine away from White Hart Lane in the top flight though, which just hints that they may struggle to get the win on the board in this one. Tottenham have lost 15 of their 24 Premier League visits to Anfield (W2 D7) and only at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge have they lost more often in the competition. Harry Kane has been involved in all three of Spurs’ goals in their last two Premier League games at Anfield, scoring twice and assisting once and he is a price of 11/8 in the anytime goalscorer market with Dele Alli at 21/10. Four of Spurs’ last five away Premier League wins have seen them score four goals but it’s hard to see them running riot in this one, so expect a tight old scrap between the two of these but a both teams to score is a quote of 4/6.

Liverpool v Tottenham Predictions
The way we look at this is assessing that neither really look like losing this one. As Liverpool showed recently at home against Chelsea they can raise their game when it comes to big matches against top six sides. However, they are not going well enough to suggest that they can actually land the win. Spurs haven’t done a lot of winning out on the road recently and are the better of the two sides, so it should all balance out to a draw and the 1-1 correct score option has big appeal.
