Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur

Free

Today’s featured game is the English Premier League game between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool are currently nowhere in the table for obvious reasons whereas Tottenham have made great strides on the Premier League stage and currently occupy fourth place in the table.

Liverpool enter the game on the back of an unfortunate 1-1 draw at Stoke City which they could really have won. However, they’re facing a much more difficult opponent tonight and are going to have a real fight on their hands to take anything from this game. Liverpool are missing three absolutely vital players in Torres, Gerrard, and Benayoun, who are all absent through injury. These losses limit Liverpool’s potency and creativity massively, to the extent where I frankly can’t see them taking anything but a draw from this game at best. Liverpool are without a win in their last three games overall with a draw at Reading and then a defeat at home by Reading in the FA Cup replay. Liverpool are looking shaky, they’re defending poorly, and they’re frankly not scoring enough goals. For those reasons, I simply cannot entertain the thought of Liverpool winning the game tonight.

Visitors Tottenham Hotspur drew their last game at home to Hull City. Contrary to what some of you may think, this was entirely down to an inspired and heroic performance from Hull City goalkeeper Boaz Myhill – nothing else. Tottenham remain an extremely potent side with great pace and ability. Tottenham haven’t even conceded in their last six games in all competitions, five of which were Premier League games. With that kind of record in your favour, you know that the side in question has a chance. Tottenham have averaged scoring just under two goals per game in those six games so their ability to score goals is well within reach. Tottenham have only been beaten twice away from home this season in the Premier League and with their current level of strong momentum, it’s hard to entertain the thought that this record will end tonight.

Ultimately, I can only see one side with a realistic chance of winning this game and that’s Tottenham. If the Londoners take their chances in this game then I fully expect them to win this game comfortably because Liverpool simply do not have enough to trouble them, particularly without those three key players. The very worst I can see Tottenham getting here is a draw so taking the visitors to win the game with generous draw no bet odds seems to be the best bet for tonight’s match.

Verdict: Tottenham Hotspur to win at draw no bet odds of evens.
