Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool will light up North London with a tantalizing Premier League showdown this Sunday.
Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs come into this fixture fresh off a 4-3 thriller against Manchester United, while league leaders Liverpool edged Southampton 2-1 to keep their quadruple dream alive.
Spurs have shown flashes of brilliance this season but remain inconsistent. While their exhilarating win over Manchester United showcased their attacking flair, defensive lapses persist, exemplified by Fraser Forster’s errors.
Postecoglou’s men, who hammered Southampton 5-0 in a historic first-half rout last weekend, still sit mid-table, five points adrift of the Champions League spots.

Liverpool’s dominance this season has been remarkable. Unbeaten in 20 matches across all competitions, the Reds remain Premier League leaders, despite being closely pursued by Chelsea.
With four wins in their last six away games, Arne Slot’s side are the only unbeaten away team in the league this term.
Historically, Tottenham have struggled against Liverpool, losing 27 of their 51 Premier League encounters.
However, they’ve scored two or more goals in four of their last six matches against the Reds, a glimmer of hope for a side desperate to prove their mettle.

With Liverpool’s impeccable form and Spurs’ recent defensive frailties, the Reds have the upper hand. Tottenham’s attack can trouble the visitors, but Liverpool’s consistency and depth may prove decisive.
