Tottenham vs Liverpool Prediction: 9/1 Bet Builder, Team News & More

Tottenham host Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday night, live on Sky Sports Main Event at 5.30pm.

Spurs are bidding to bounce back from their wretched defeat to Nottingham Forest, which left Thomas Frank under-fire in the Sack Race, while Liverpool go looking for their third straight win in all competitions.

Dominik Szoboszlai has found the net in two of his last three matches and has scored three goals across his previous six appearances.

With Mo Salah now away at AFCON, Szoboszlai is expected to take over penalty duties, as he did against Inter Milan when Salah was not involved. On that occasion, the midfielder calmly converted a late spot-kick to seal the win.

Szoboszlai also enjoys facing Tottenham, registering two goals and three assists in his last three outings against them, including a goal and an assist in last season’s emphatic 6-3 away victory.

BOYLE Sports are offering both new and existing customers a 25% Bet Builder boost, and we’ve put together a four-selection fancy priced at 9/1, which requires both teams to score, over 3.5 goals, Hugo Ekitike to score, and Cristian Romero to be shown a card.

Goals are usually guaranteed when these two sides meet. They faced each other four times across league and cup competitions last season, with Liverpool dominating the league fixtures 6-3 and 5-1, the latter sealing the title at Anfield.

Both teams have found the net in each of the last 10 top-flight meetings, producing a remarkable 47 goals in total, which is an average of 4.7 goals per game.

Hugo Ekitike has hit top form in December, scoring twice in consecutive league outings against Leeds and Brighton. The in-form Frenchman will back himself to extend that run against a fragile Spurs back line that conceded three goals to Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Discipline is a concern for Tottenham captain Cristian Romero. No Premier League player has collected more yellow cards this season, with seven already to his name, four of them coming in his last five league appearances.
