Match Overview
Liverpool take on Tottenham Hotspur in a crucial game in the Premier League at Anfield on Sunday, May 5. This game will mark an important chapter of the Premier League race in which Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool themselves are running. If Spurs manage to cause an upset here, Liverpool's calculations will all go haywire.
Key Highlights
Liverpool have been rather sharp when it comes to attacking this season, and are suitably ranked 3rd in goals scored per match (2.2 goals). However, what will worry their departing head coach Jurgen Klopp is that they haven't scored in their last 2 home matches. As always, their Egyptian magician Mohamed Salah is ranked 1st in big chances created in the competition (21).
Injury Report
Diogo Jota, Joel Matip and Thiago continue to be ruled out for Liverpool whereas Spurs will have to make do without Alfie Whiteman, Ben Davies and Fraser Forster among others.
Prediction
Liverpool are the downright favourites to win this game, and we expect them to do so comfortably. Ranked 6th in goals scored per match (2 goals), Spurs have not quite been very good in the attacking third this season. What will worry them is that they haven't kept a clean sheet in 7 matches although Heung-Min Son is ranked 3 in big chances created in the competition (17).
