We said: Liverpool 3-2 Tottenham Hotspur
This is not a match many Liverpool fans will be looking forward to; Spurs have the tools to expose Liverpool's few weaknesses, and if the Reds do get their high line wrong against Kane and Son then they will be punished more severely than against most teams. Most of Liverpool's dropped points this season have come in the more frantic games - something Spurs will look to make it having beaten Man City in similar fashion, particularly as they realistically need the win themselves. However, it is impossible to look past Liverpool's recent record of 40 points from the last 42 available in the Premier League, and they proved again in midweek that they have a welcome habit of finding a way to get the job done. This fixture is the second-highest scoring one in Premier League history and we expect goals again, but ultimately it is difficult not to come down on the side of Liverpool picking up a priceless win which would again lift them to the top of the table.Data Analysis
