Liverpool go to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hoping for a win to guarantee they head into Christmas top of the Premier League table.
Spurs have been in poor form of late, but Thursday night’s impressive 4-3 win over Man Utd will boost their confidence ahead of Sunday.
We crunch the numbers ahead of the big game…
Tottenham have won just two of their previous 25 clashes with Liverpool in all competitions, drawing six and losing 17. However, Spurs could win consecutive home league games against the Reds for the first time since a run of five between 2008 and 2012. Meanwhile, Liverpool have suffered just one defeat in five Premier League visits to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, drawing one and winning three.
Liverpool have lost just one of their 24 games in all competitions this season, drawing three and winning 20. However, they’ve dropped points in their past two top-flight outings, drawing away to Newcastle and at home to Fulham. The Reds remain the only unbeaten away side in the Premier League this season, with five wins and two draws from seven games.
Mo Salah has been directly involved in 71% of Liverpool’s Premier League goals during this campaign, with 13 goals and nine assists. He has scored in six of Liverpool’s seven Premier League away fixtures, failing to find the net in the 1-0 win at Crystal Palace in October. Meanwhile, Diogo Jota is one short of 100 league goals.
