Liverpool vs Tottenham Odds
Liverpool Team News
Jurgen Klopp, who is leaving Liverpool, did not envision his tenure ending like this. Although he’ll end his time with another EFL Cup medal, Liverpool’s hopes for four prestigious titles vanished in just a few months. After being knocked out of the FA Cup and Europa League due to losses against Manchester United and Atalanta, Liverpool has practically fallen out of the Premier League title race, having won only one of their last five matches and securing just one point out of the last six possible.
The 2-2 draw with West Ham and the lost ground to Arsenal and Manchester City drew attention, but the biggest headline was the heated exchange between Klopp and Salah, which became a symbol of Liverpool’s collapse at the end of the season. Third-placed Liverpool must win on Sunday to keep their hopes alive for a second Premier League title, as they are five points behind Arsenal, and Manchester City could extend the lead to seven points if they win their game. Therefore, a draw won’t be enough if Arsenal beats Bournemouth on Saturday. Liverpool also lost their last two matches at Anfield, against Atalanta and Crystal Palace, without scoring a goal, and a third consecutive home defeat would be the first such occurrence since 2021.
Four Liverpool players are out for the rest of the season. Joel Matip, Ben Doak, Bobby Clark, and Thiago Alcantara, some of whom might have played their last games for the club, continue to recover. Klopp also delivered bad news on Friday, saying that Virgil van Dijk hasn’t trained, raising doubts about whether the captain will be ready for the match. The good news is that Conor Bradley is back in full training and is expected to play on Sunday, and Diogo Jota should be ready to return in May, though the game against Tottenham might be too soon for him. The disagreement between Salah and Klopp occurred after Salah wasn’t in the starting lineup in London, but Klopp emphasized there’s no bad blood between them, so the Egyptian is likely to be back in the starting lineup.
Tottenham Team News
Tottenham suffered a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the last Premier League round. Spurs manager, Ange Postecoglou, was uncharacteristically animated on the touchline as his team was outplayed and tactically outwitted. Tottenham fans were once again frustrated by their team’s poor set-piece defense. Trevoh Chalobah left unmarked, scored with a header after a free kick from Conor Gallagher, and Nicolas Jackson added a second goal after Cole Palmer hit the crossbar from another free kick.
Tottenham, currently fifth in the league, has conceded 22 goals from set pieces in the 2023/24 season, the third-worst record in the league, behind Nottingham Forest (26) and Sheffield United (23). Spurs are now seven points behind Aston Villa and have only one game in hand. If they lose their fourth consecutive Premier League game on Sunday and Aston Villa beats Brighton, their hopes of reaching the Champions League will be dashed. While Postecoglou has often stressed that finishing in the top four isn’t the main goal for his team in his first season, fans likely have different expectations.
Regarding player health, Postecoglou reported no new injuries after the loss, but he mentioned that Timo Werner and Ben Davies will miss the rest of the season due to injuries sustained during the North London derby. Joining the injury list are Ryan Sessegnon, Manor Solomon, Destiny Udogie, and Fraser Forster. After five substitutions that failed to yield results at Stamford Bridge, Postecoglou might consider making changes against Liverpool. James Maddison was among those dropped due to poor form, but he’s expected to return to the lineup for the Anfield match, likely replacing the ineffective Richarlison.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Prediction
With limited time to recover, a persistent weakness in set-piece defense, and former stars who have lost form at a crucial point in the season, Tottenham could officially lose their chances for a top-four finish at Anfield. Although Klopp’s team isn’t in the best form, it’s important not to overlook the fact that they’ve gained 28 points from losing positions, and with extra motivation from the September controversy, we believe the hosts, even if not in their long-term rhythm, will find their winning form again. Additionally, we anticipate the game will be more open and high-scoring, with at least three goals expected to be scored throughout the match.
