The eight-time Cup winner and two-time champion of England last season stopped in sixth position, which brought a ticket to the Europa League, where the team performed quite successfully. In the spring part of the tournament, Tottenham beat Wolfsberger, but at the next stage they unexpectedly lost to Dynamo from Zagreb. The London club made it to the English League Cup final, but there they could not hold back the onslaught of Manchester City. In the 82nd minute Laporte closed the pass to De Bruyne and deprived the lilac-whites of this trophy. In the English championship, Spurs managed to chalk up 15 victories and eight peaceful outcomes after 33 rounds, which brought 53 points and the seventh position. However, the distance to the top four is only five points, which leaves a chance to break into the Champions League. After a home defeat to Manchester United (1:3), Hotspurs shared the tournament points with Everton (2:2) and in their last home game dealt with Southampton (2:1). Today, only Davis is in the team’s infirmary, with an injured calf.
Now for Liverpool is the period of important matches, in which every point earned is worth its weight in gold. The reigning champion takes only sixth place in the standings. Jurgen Klopp’s team is four points behind the fourth Chelsea, but the situation at the top of the tournament is so tight that at the end of the championship the Reds may be left without any European cups at all. On the road, Liverpool have earned as many points as at home, namely 27 each, although they played one less game. In the last away matches, Jurgen Klopp’s wards managed to beat Sheffield United (2:0), Wolverhampton (1:0), Arsenal (3:0) and also ended in a draw with Leeds (1:1). In total, in 16 matches on the rivals’ fields Lersysides have only seven victories. Six meetings they ended in a draw and lost three times. The guests’ infirmary remains full. Injured are defenders Nathaniel Phillips, Joel Matip, Joseph Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, midfielder Jordan Henderson, striker Divock Origi and goalkeeper Kuivin Kelleher. So, what is the soccer bet prediction for today?
