Liverpool – Tottenham

Merseyside club to extend their league winning streak to four

Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool struggled to win the league title against Manchester City in the last round last season and also took part in the Champions League final, where they lost to Madrid. This season so far has been the German specialist's worst in all the years with the Reds. Unfortunately for Merseyside fans, there is little prospect of them clinching a place in the Champions League zone. Manchester United, currently sitting in last place in the top 4, are not only seven points ahead of Liverpool but have also played one game fewer. Tottenham approaches the central encounter of the 34th round in a similar situation. "Spurs are one point ahead of their nearest rival but have played one more game, which puts them in the worst position in terms of points lost. The bookmakers have identified the home side as the clear favourites, offering odds of 1.57 to win. Liverpool have had a fairly stable season this season. However, this notion in this case is applied to the Reds with a negative connotation. The Merseyside club approaches the next game with the longest winning streak in 2023, which amounts to only three matches. Liverpool have previously suffered defeats in every second or third official game. In the previous rounds, the Reds beat West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Leeds, and before that, they drew with Chelsea and Arsenal. Another thing is that Liverpool are not losing success at Anfield, having lost at their stadium on their last twelve occasions only to Madrid. Tottenham are no different from their upcoming opponents in terms of their results this year, at least for the better. Spurs have played ten official matches in the last two months, beating Nottingham Forest and Brighton, achieving this at their London Arena. The rest of the matches during this period have been tied or lost by Conte's side in equal proportions. In the last away game, Tottenham conceded six goals from Newcastle, five of which came midway through the first half. As in the first-round match, Liverpool will celebrate a victory over their opponents.
