Liverpool vs Tottenham Prediction: Tips, Stats & Team News

Liverpool and Tottenham go head-to-head at Anfield in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday night (8pm kick-off).

The Reds have had an underwhelming start to the Andoni Iraola era, having drawn three of their opening four Premier League matches. However, they did showcase their quality in a 2-1 Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid.

As for Spurs, while they are still seeking their first league goal of the season, they did fire five past Charlton in the second round of the League Cup.

Read on for the best Liverpool vs Tottenham predictions, tips, stats, and team news ahead of tonight's game.

Cody Gakpo will be hoping to return to the starting 11 after missing Liverpool’s win over Atletico Madrid, before coming off the bench against Fulham.

The Dutchman has already played a part in four goals across his four appearances this season, scoring once and providing three assists.

That takes Gakpo to seven goal involvements in his last 11 games for the club, including five assists.

He also has an impressive record against Tottenham, registering seven goal involvements in nine appearances against them in all competitions, and is 11/10 with Paddy Power to add another goal or assist to his tally on Tuesday night.

Both sides were held to frustrating goalless draws over the weekend, but this cup clash should offer a very different spectacle. With both managers expected to rotate their squads, there could be more freedom and attacking intent on show under the lights at Anfield.

Goals have certainly been a key feature of this fixture in recent years. Both teams have found the net in each of the last 14 meetings, while three of their four league and cup encounters in 2024/25 produced at least four goals: Liverpool came out on top in all three, winning 5-1, 4-0, and 6-3.

Liverpool also have the upper hand in the overall head-to-head, winning seven of their last 10 meetings in all competitions. The Reds to win and both teams to score at 2/1 looks like an appealing bet here.
