"This fixture has a tendency to throw up a lot of goals for both sides, but mainly for Liverpool. We've put 20 past them in our last 5 meetings, and we always seem to find a way to come out on top. In the past 10 meetings in the Premier League, we've only fallen short on one occasion, so on paper, it's a team we should be excited to come up against. But games aren't played on paper."
"The last time we were in this stadium, a Luis Diaz and Mo Salah double helped us on our way to a 6-3 hammering, but the time before was the infamous Diaz offside/onside goal fiasco and unlucky Joel Matip's stoppage time own goal. The last time we played them was at Anfield on April 27th 2025. A day for 5 goals, 20 league titles and memories to last us all a lifetime."
"Both Liverpool and Spurs find themselves in positions they wouldn't have anticipated being in before a ball was kicked in August. Liverpool were fresh off the back of number 20, and Spurs had just won the Europa League whilst bringing in one of the league's most talented, tactical managers, Thomas Frank. I'm not sure anyone predicted we'd be sat in 7th and 11th respectively heading into the holiday fixtures."
Liverpool will play Tottenham in a Saturday evening kick-off aiming for a third consecutive win across all competitions to steady a rocky season. The fixture often produces high scores, with 20 goals in the last five meetings and Liverpool winning most recent encounters. Past matches include a 6-3 Liverpool win and controversial moments such as the Diaz offside/onside incident and a Joel Matip stoppage-time own goal. Both clubs occupy unexpected league positions — Liverpool seventh, Tottenham eleventh — as squads adapt to new players, managerial changes, and the aftermath of an expensive, public transfer window.
