Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur predictions and betting tips for their fixture on Saturday 11th February at 5:30pm. Will Liverpool break back into the top four, or will they edge further away?
Liverpool have endured a disastrous start to 2017 so far. The Reds have only recorded one win in 10, and that win was over League Two outfit Plymouth Argyle. Their defeat last week against Hull City resulted in Jurgen Klopp’s side dropping to 5th in the Premier League, and this weekend they face another tough opposition in Tottenham Hotspur.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side are the closest challengers to league leaders Chelsea. Spurs are currently nine points off the Blues and they’ll certainly be looking to reduce that deficit to six by the time Chelsea play on Sunday. Tottenham are unbeaten in 11 coming into this fixture, although they’ll know that they lost 2-1 here in the EFL Cup earlier this campaign and will be certainly looking for revenge.
Liverpool vs Tottenham Predictions
Spurs’ away from has been a slight concern this season. Pochettino’s side are unbeaten in four away from home, though they have drawn their previous two matches to Sunderland and Manchester City. Tottenham have only kept two clean sheets in their last nine matches in all competitions, however they managed to get on the scoresheet in seven matches throughout that period. With Liverpool being at home, it is hard to not see them get on the scoresheet as they are the joint highest goalscorers in the Premier League, netting 52 goals in just 24 matches. The sides have already met twice this season, the league match at White Hart Lane ended 1-1, while the EFL Cup fixture at Anfield ended 2-1 to the Reds. I think there will be goals in this one as both sides will be desperate for the win and this will result in the game becoming stretched. My first Liverpool vs Tottenham prediction for this encounter is going to be for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals, which is best valued with Coral at 6/5 who will give you a £20 free bet when you open an account.

Tottenham may be without Jan Vertonghen and Danny Rose this weekend and that will not help their chances of keeping a clean sheet at Anfield on Saturday. Liverpool have played at Anfield 11 times in the Premier League this season and have only failed to score on one occasion. I feel that due to being outside the top four, Jurgen Klopp’s side will have a much bigger incentive to go out and win this game. This is a must win for the Reds as they are in real danger of being cut adrift from a Champions League spot, and I feel they will come out on top and collect all three points in the evening kick-off on Saturday. Therefore, my second Liverpool vs Tottenham prediction for this fixture is Liverpool to win, which is valued at 5/4 with Bet365 or use one of the enhanced odds offers below to get big odds for a Liverpool win.

Anytime Goalscorer Tips
It can be very difficult to pick out a goalscorer when Liverpool are playing, mainly because they spread the goals out across their entire team! I expect this to be an open game as I mentioned, and I think this will play into the hands of both sides as they are devastating when going forward. My pick for an anytime goalscorer tip this weekend is going to be Adam Lallana (if he starts). The England international already has 7 goals this campaign and he is always heavily involved in the Liverpool attacks, which is why my final betting tip for Liverpool vs Spurs this weekend is Adam Lallana to score anytime, which is best valued at 7/2 with Paddy Power.

Both managers have problems in defence ahead of this big clash at the weekend. For Jurgen Klopp, Dejan Lovren is recovering from a knee injury and may not be fit enough to play, while Ragnar Klavan is also doubtful and may miss out. Danny Ings and Marko Grujic remain sidelined.
Meanwhile for Tottenham, Danny Rose could be out for up to a month, and Jan Vertonghen is still recovering from an ankle injury and is not ready for a return. Erik Lamela is also expected to miss out.

Spurs’ last victory at Anfield was back in 2011, where they ran out 2-0 winners. The last fixture between the sides was back in October in the EFL Cup.
