Tottenham Hotspur vs. Liverpool: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

English Premier League leaders Liverpool face a tough test of their title credentials when they make the road trip down to London to face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in a warm-up game for a two-legged League Cup semifinal between the teams that will come early in 2025.

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Liverpool betting picks and predictions

Over 3.5 Total Goals (-138)

Goals are almost guaranteed when Tottenham play, and the EPL's great entertainers could once again serve up a classic match against leaders Liverpool in a repeat of the 2019 UEFA Champions League final.

Liverpool won 2-0 on that occasion, but the league matches since have been better than the dour football on show in Madrid five years ago. 

Both teams have scored in nine of the last 10 meetings and seven of the last eight went over 2.5 goals, while four of those went over 3.5 as well. It's the four or more total goals which is of most betting interest on Sunday.

Tottenham, missing important members of their defense in Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Ben Davies as well as goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, will find it difficult to contain a Liverpool team with a stacked offence, but only Chelsea have scored more than Tottenham's 36 EPL goals this season.

Ange Postecoglou's admirable commitment to throw players forward has resulted in a number of high-scoring showdowns, the latest of which was Thursday's 4-3 League Cup win over Manchester United.

They have also beaten United 3-0 in the league and thrashed Manchester City 4-0 and Aston Villa 4-1. But Tottenham have also lost 4-3 to Chelsea and 3-2 at Brighton and Galatasaray.

Seven of their last 11 games in all competitions have gone over 3.5 and more goals seem likely, particularly as four of Liverpool's last six road matches also went over the 3.5 line.

Liverpool to Win & Both Teams to Score (+150)

A shootout should suit Liverpool and the leaders can stay at the top with a victory in a match with goals at both ends.

Liverpool have lost only once this season - a shock 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield - and their overall record of 20-3-1 is astonishing considering many pundits expected a downturn in fortunes with Arne Slot replacing the legendary Jurgen Klopp as manager.

Slot has stepped in seamlessly, but it helps when you have so many different options in the offensive third. The best of the bunch is Mohamed Salah, who has scored 13 league goals this season and also registered nine assists, giving him a Premier League-high 22 goal contributions.

Spurs are never to be trusted to keep a shutout at the best of times, and Salah and his Liverpool teammates will be fired up after a controversial loss at Tottenham last season when the Reds finished with nine men and erroneously had a goal ruled out by VAR.

Virgil van Dijk to Score or Assist (+500)

Tottenham conceded from a corner in their 4-3 win over United on Thursday and it has looked an area of vulnerability throughout Postecoglou's time in England.

Liverpool will no doubt look to become the latest team to exploit the weakness and captain Virgil van Dijk is capable of causing many problems from dead-ball situations.

Van Dijk has two goals this season - one in the Premier League and one in the UEFA Champions League - and he also has one EPL assist. He looks like a value play to score or assist on the road at Spurs.

Pedro Porro Over 1.5 Player Shots (+162)

Right-back Pedro Porro is always a dangerous attacking outlet for Tottenham and in the Player Shots market he looks a strong fancy to land over 1.5.

Porro has had at least two shots in seven of his last eight home games in all competitions, including when he had six efforts in the UEFA Europa League clash against Roma.

It was Porro's shot which was parried to allow Dominic Solanke to open the scoring against United on Thursday and he is always a contender to let fly from long range.
