Five of the first six meetings between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in the early 20th century may have been won by the Lilywhites, but the mammoths from Merseyside have since built up a dominant streak over their capital counterparts in this battle.

Indeed, the Reds have prevailed in 92 of the 186 competitive meetings between the two clubs down the years while only suffering 50 defeats, and another 44 scraps have ended in a share of the spoils.

One of those 50 losses for Liverpool came at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the 2023-24 season, albeit in highly infuriating circumstances, as Luis Diaz's goal was incorrectly disallowed by virtue of a "significant human error" before Joel Matip turned into his own net in added time.

Jurgen Klopp's crop avenged that cruel defeat with a 4-2 triumph at Anfield towards the end of the season, though, which preceded an engrossing 6-3 success for Arne Slot's team in December 2024, enhancing this fixture's reputation as one of the most exciting on the English football calendar.

It was Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs who Liverpool conquered in the 2019 Champions League final too, where Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi broke Lilywhites hearts, and there have only been three wins for Spurs in the last 28 top-flight head-to-heads.

A 1-0 success in the first leg of the 2024-25 EFL Cup semi-finals represents one of those rare victories, but Liverpool avenged that narrow loss with a 4-0 battering in the return fixture, thus earning a date with destiny against Newcastle United.

Current Reds hotshot Mohamed Salah leads the way in terms of individual goals in this head-to-head with 13 efforts, two more than Spurs legend Jimmy Greaves and Liverpool icon Ian Rush and managed in this bout.
