Liverpool vs Tottenham preview: Stats, head-to-head, team news, and how to watch

Liverpool welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield on Sunday afternoon for one of the Premier League’s most entertaining fixtures.

Meetings between these two sides rarely disappoint, with Liverpool vs Tottenham producing more goals than any other fixture in Premier League history.

The Reds are still chasing a strong finish after a disappointing title defence, while Spurs arrive desperately searching for a spark as the threat of relegation looms.

The clash on Merseyside promises intrigue for very different reasons.

TheSportstoday provides a comprehensive guide on how to stream all the action as it happens.

The clash between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur will also be broadcast live in the UK, with kick-off scheduled for 16:30 (UK time).

Match preview

Liverpool head into the weekend under pressure to rediscover consistency. The Reds have already lost nine league games, more than they managed across the previous two seasons combined.

Another defeat would take them into double figures for league losses for the first time since the 2015/16 campaign.

Liverpool have picked up important wins in recent weeks but have also slipped up in key moments.

The defeat to bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers was a massive blow. Their European commitments also make matters tricky.

The Reds fell to a 1–0 defeat against Galatasaray in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie during the week, meaning Arne Slot must manage his squad ahead of the return leg.

Still, Anfield remains a formidable venue and Mohamed Salah will again be central to Liverpool’s attacking hopes.

The Egyptian has an exceptional record against Spurs, scoring 16 goals against them across his career in all competitions, more than he has managed against almost any other opponent.

Meanwhile, Tottenham arrive in miserable form. Spurs have lost their last five league matches and remain the only side without a league victory in 2026.

Across 11 league games this calendar year, they have drawn four and lost seven, a run that leaves them hovering dangerously close to the relegation battle.

Interim manager Igor Tudor has struggled to arrest the slide since taking charge, with Tottenham already considering replacements.

However, their away form offers a small glimmer of hope. Spurs have collected 19 of their 29 league points on the road this season, an astonishing 66% of their total.

Liverpool vs Tottenham head-to-head stats

Liverpool vs Tottenham is the highest-scoring match-up in Premier League history, producing 209 goals since the competition began.

Liverpool have been responsible for the majority of those strikes, scoring 127.

Recent history has been particularly one-sided. Tottenham have won just one of their last 16 league meetings with Liverpool, drawing three and losing 12.

The Reds have also won the last four encounters between the sides since Spurs’ 2–1 victory in North London in September 2023.

Anfield has been an especially difficult venue for Tottenham. Liverpool have lost just one of their last 31 home league matches against Tottenham and are unbeaten in the last 14 meetings there.

Team news

Liverpool could receive a boost in goal ahead of the weekend.

Alisson Becker missed the midweek clash with Galatasaray through injury, but Slot is hopeful that the Brazilian will be fit for Tottenham.

Federico Chiesa is also expected to be available again after illness. Unfortunately, Liverpool remain without several players.

Giovanni Leoni is sidelined with a knee injury, while Conor Bradley and Wataru Endo are also unavailable. Alexander Isak continues his recovery from a leg problem.

Slot may consider a few rotations ahead of the second leg against Galatasaray next week.

Tottenham’s injury situation is befuddling. Micky van de Ven will miss the trip to Anfield through suspension, while Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha are unavailable.

Yves Bissouma, Destiny Udogie and Conor Gallagher are also doubts.

The list of longer-term absentees includes Lucas Bergvall, Ben Davies, Rodrigo Bentancur, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Wilson Odobert.

With so many key players missing and confidence low, Spurs face a daunting challenge as they attempt to halt their miserable run.
