As we prepare for Sunday evening’s Premier League clash between Liverpool and Spurs at Anfield, we look back at previous encounters and crunch the numbers on current form…
Liverpool have lost just one of their last 31 home league games against Tottenham Hotspur (W21 D9), and are unbeaten in 14 (W10 D4) since a 2-0 loss in May 2011.
Tottenham Hotspur have won just one of their last 16 Premier League games against Liverpool (D3 L12), losing the last four in a row since a 2-1 home win in September 2023.
Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur is the highest scoring fixture in Premier League history, with 209 goals. Liverpool have scored 127 of these, with only the Reds themselves netting more against a specific opponent in the competition (131 vs Newcastle).
Liverpool have lost nine Premier League games this season, more than they did in 2023-24 (4) and 2024-25 (4) combined (8). The Reds last suffered 10+ defeats in a league season in 2015-16 (10), and last did so under a single manager in 2014-15 under Brendan Rodgers (12).
Only Sunderland (25) have seen fewer goals in the first halves of their Premier League games this season than Liverpool (28 – 16 for, 12 against), while only Burnley’s first halves have seen more goals (46) than Tottenham Hotspur’s (42 – 16 for, 26 against). On the other hand, Liverpool’s second halves have produced a league-high 59 goals (32 for, 27 against).
Mo Salah has scored 16 goals in his career against Tottenham Hotspur in all competitions (14 for Liverpool, 1 for Fiorentina, 1 for Basel), his joint-most against a single opponent (also 16 v Manchester United). 12 of those have come in the Premier League, with only Alan Shearer (14) netting more against Spurs in the competition.
