Tottenham v Liverpool Betting Preview – Premier League 27th August
The Reds have already been to North London once already this season where they sprung a surprise on Arsenal in a thrilling 4-3 win at the Emirates. That was a huge return from them out of the starting blocks but they then went at lost at Burnley last weekend. Spurs have made a steady start to the new season with four points from their two games played. Will they be able to build on their opening win that they picked up last weekend? They would have to snap a poor run of form against the Reds though to make it happen.

Tottenham v Liverpool Betting Tips
An important home game for Spurs on Saturday lunchtime. They will have seen Arsenal fail at home to Liverpool already this season and should therefore be a little cautious about the threat coming to face them. Spurs have gone W1 D1 in their opening two games of the season, drawing at Everton on the opening weekend and then picking up a home win over Crystal Palace last weekend. So they have banked their first win of the season but they have not beaten Liverpool at the last seven attempts in the Premier League. In that sequence of games SPurs have gone D2 L5 against the Reds. Both games between the two of them in the top flight last season ended in draws and both were under 2.5 goals.
There is even money on this one going under the goal line, because those results last term were exceptions to what normally happens when these two get together. Liverpool have averaged 2.7 goals per game against Tottenham in their last seven games against them and this is the fourth highest scoring fixture in Premier League history as well. Tottenham have given up just the one goal this season though and they look tight at the back. In the anytime goalscorer market there is Harry Kane at the head of it running at a quote of 6/5 to hit the back of the net. Kane though, it should be noted has never scored a Premier League goal in the month of August (9 matches). Tottenham as well have failed to score in their last three Premier League home games against Liverpool.
Liverpool are the clear form team here in the head and should be confident for their trip to the Lane. They have gone W2 D1 at White Hart Lane in their last three visits in the Premier League and they have taken a clean sheet in each of those three as well. Liverpool have netted eight goals themselves in those last three trips to Spurs and in total across the seven games unbeaten streak that they are on against the Lilywhites, Liverpool have scored a total of 19 goals. No Premier League team has scored more Premier League goals in the 2016 calendar year than Liverpool have and Daniel Sturridge is a 2/1 anytime goalscorer option for them with Sadio Mane at 5/2.
They don’t look good at the back though and keeper Simon Mignolet is a huge liability for them. After saving Theo Walcott’s penalty in their opener against Arsenal, he have shipped a goal on each of the five shots on target that he has faced since in the Premier League. Not good at all and they weren’t a the races in their defeat at Burnley last weekend either. So there are clear problems for them to fix at the back and both teams to score in this fixture is running at a price of 8/13 and there has been at least three goals scored in seven of the last ten between these two. Will the defensive cracks that they have let them down at the Lane?

Tottenham 11/8, Liverpool 2/1, Draw 12/5
Tottenham v Liverpool Predictions
Spurs should have the quality at the back to to fend off the attentions of the Reds in this one. They will present Liverpool with a tougher defence than what Arsenal did. Liverpool are still too much of a risk at the back to get behind with a lot of confidence and Spurs have the individual creativity to open up the Reds. Back the game to go over 2.5 goals but a home win.
