Tottenham vs Liverpool: Premier League Form and Stakes
Tottenham, managed by Thomas Frank, have struggled recently, winning just one of their last seven Premier League matches (D2, L4). Frank stated there is “no quick fix” after a “very bad performance” in their 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.
Despite a top-eight Champions League spot being within reach, Spurs’ only win and clean sheet since November came against Brentford (2-0). Their home form remains inconsistent, with just one win in seven home league games (D2, L4).
Liverpool’s Momentum and Salah’s Situation
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches (W2, D2) and are pushing to break into the top four by the end of 2025. Mohamed Salah’s embrace of the Kop after the 2-0 win over Brighton has sparked speculation about his future.
The Reds have excelled against lower-ranked teams, winning six of ten matches against sides below them in the table (D2, L2), including three of five away games (D1, L1). However, they have struggled against the league’s elite this season.
Head-to-Head Record and Key Statistics
Liverpool have dominated Tottenham in recent years, winning 11 of their last 14 Premier League meetings (D2, L1) and scoring at least 15 goals in the last three encounters.
Eight of Tottenham’s last nine competitive games have produced over 2.5 goals. Only 38% of Spurs’ 16 league games this season were won by the pre-match favourite (W6, D5, L5).

Key Players and Injury Updates
Mohammed Kudus, who has scored in two of his last five club games, will be motivated to improve his record against Liverpool, having lost eight of nine previous meetings (D1). Liverpool’s Alexander Isak has scored in and won four of his five games against Spurs (L1).
Tottenham will be without Destiny Udogie until January. Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo remains sidelined, while Joe Gomez and Dominik Szoboszlai are doubtful after recent injuries.
Betting Trends and Match Outlook
Eight of Liverpool’s last 11 games in all competitions saw only the winning team score. A joint-league high 88% of Liverpool’s league games this season were won by the team that scored first.
Analysts expect both teams to score for the 11th consecutive Premier League head-to-head.
