Liverpool and Tottenham Slipping at Inopportune Time
Liverpool vs Tottenham Lines Favor Reds as Spurs Drop Three Straight

Tottenham Could Sink Liverpool’s Slim Title Hopes
Liverpool and Tottenham have picked the worst time of the season to be out of form. Liverpool have won just one of their last five games as they’ve fallen five points behind first-placed Arsenal. The Reds’ title hopes are currently on life support. Meanwhile, Tottenham have dropped three straight matches and are seven points behind Aston Villa for the last Champions League place. Spurs do have a game in hand, though, and Villa have some tough remaining games. The Liverpool vs Tottenham lines favor the Reds as they host Spurs on Sunday. Both sides will desperately be looking for a victory.
Liverpool vs Tottenham
Date, time:
Location: Anfield, Liverpool, England
Head-to-Head
In Ange Postecoglou’s first match vs. Liverpool as Tottenham boss, Spurs defeated Liverpool for the first time since 2017. Curtis Jones picked up a controversial first half red card for Liverpool and Son Heung-min put Spurs up. Cody Gakpo equalized before halftime and a Joel Matip own goal was the difference as Tottenham won 2-1. The Liverpool vs Tottenham lines priced Spurs as +200 underdogs. Liverpool were previously unbeaten in their last 11 EPL fixtures vs Tottenham and last 12 overall. Two of the last five meetings have finished in draws.
Liverpool’s Season Unraveling
Liverpool’s season tore apart at the seams last weekend. Perhaps the biggest sign of that was Mo Salah’s touchline spat with Jurgen Klopp as Salah was waiting to come on. It’s looking almost certain that Liverpool will finish Klopp’s last season as manager with just the EFL Cup trophy. Last weekend’s draw at West Ham was another missed opportunity and poor defensive display.
The Reds have defended crosses into the box horribly as of late. Both of West Ham’s goals came on headers, as Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio both got on the scoresheet. Once again, Liverpool’s frontline failed to score, as Andy Robertson and an own goal were the Reds’ two goals in the match. Liverpool have been incredibly wasteful with their chances lately and it’s one of the main factors costing them the title.
They’re currently in third place in the Premier League table with three games to play. Man City just need to win two of their remaining four games to ensure they finish above Liverpool. Bettors should be aware that Liverpool have conceded in eight straight Premier League games heading into Sunday. All of Diogo Jota, Conor Bradley, Thiago and Joel Matip could miss this match.
Big Ange Fed up with Spurs Players
Tottenham slumped to their third straight defeat on Thursday, when they fell 2-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The loss meant former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino completed a double over Tottenham this season. Like Liverpool, Tottenham have had a lot of trouble defending set pieces lately. Two of Arsenal’s three goals in Spurs’ 3-2 North London Derby loss were on corners.
Meanwhile, Chelsea scored on headers off of two free kicks. Postecoglou looked fed up with his players on Thursday and visibly had a go at a few of them from the sidelines. Tottenham are a very good team when they’re clicking, but things just haven’t gone right for them lately. They’ve conceded nine times in their last three EPL games.
The EPL lines list Tottenham at just +1800 odds to make the top four and qualify for the Champions League. Two of Spurs’ remaining four games are vs. Liverpool and Man City, which will make that a tall task. Still, Spurs can alter the course of the title race, especially if they defeat City in a couple of weeks. Destiny Udogie is out for the season, along with Manor Solomon. Meanwhile, Timo Werner and Oliver Skipp’s return dates are unknown at the moment.
Match Analysis & Odds
Despite their recent poor form, Liverpool have only lost one match at Anfield in the Premier League this season. Here, the Liverpool vs Tottenham lines price the Reds as -205 favorites. Liverpool have scored just five goals in their last four Premier League matches, though, and their frontline has been a mess lately, especially with Jota out.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have failed to score in two of their last three games. Here, Spurs are +420 underdogs and a draw sits at +440. Bettors should also note that Tottenham haven’t won at Anfield since 2011. Liverpool -1, -1.5 comes in at -110 odds but they’re hard to trust at the moment.
Tottenham +1, +1.5 shows -110 odds as well and they have only lost four matches on the road this season. They are an unbeaten 1-2-0 away from home vs. other members of the top four in 2023-24. This one is expected to be a shootout, with both defenses in disarray. Over 3.5, 4 goals are priced at -120 odds as this is a must-win for both teams.
