Can Mourinho Delay Liverpool Title Party?
6092

Arguably the biggest game of the weekend in the English Premier League takes place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening. Tottenham Hotspur host Liverpool in a match which has significant consequences for both teams.

Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to close the gap on 4th place Chelsea in a bid to qualify for the Champions League again next season. Liverpool are attempting to continue their unbeaten run in the Premier League this season and maintain or extend their lead at the top of the table.

Tottenham Hotspur come into this match having failed to win any of their last 3 games in all competitions. Jose Mourinho’s team were held at Norwich City in the Premier League and away to Middlesbrough in the FA Cup. Sandwiched between those two draws was a 1-0 defeat at Southampton in the Premier League.

Trends show Tottenham Hotspur have won just one of their last 5 games in all competitions and that came at home against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Boxing Day. However, home form shows Tottenham Hotspur have lost only one of their last 8 Premier League matches which was a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea on the 22nd of December.

Tottenham Hotspur have managed to win 4 of their 5 most recent home games in all competitions and both teams scored in 10 of their last 13 matches in all competitions.

Liverpool could not have asked for any more in their 1-0 victory over Everton in the FA Cup last weekend. Jurgen Klopp decided to give his young players a chance to shine in the Merseyside derby and they did not let him down, producing a dominant second half display to knock out at local rivals.

Trends show Liverpool have won their last 11 games in the Premier League and are unbeaten in their last 37 Premier League matches, which is a tremendous record. They have scored 2 or more goals in 38 of their 49 most recent games in all competitions including each of their last 4 away matches in the Premier League.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 17 away Premier League games and have won each of the last 4 against Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Leicester City.

Team news and Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a big blow with the news that Harry Kane will be out for an extended period with a hamstring injury. Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is still unavailable and they have doubts over the fitness of Danny Rose, Ben Davies and Tanguy NDombèlé.

Liverpool travel without the injured trio of Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip and Nathaniel Clyne. Fabinho, Xherdan Shaqiri, James Milner and Naby Keita are all doubtful.

Tottenham Hotspur have a very poor recent record against Liverpool and have lost each of their last 4 meetings. There is nothing to suggest this match is going to produce anything different and expect to see Liverpool come away with maximum points and over 2.5 goals scored in this game.
