Key Players to Watch in Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool Prediction
The visiting Liverpool enters into this huge clash as favourites up against inconsistent Tottenham Hotspur, the current form and historical head-to-head record all weigh in the favour of Arne Slot to clinch all three points. However, the unpredictability of Lillywhites at home can play a key role and will make things quite difficult for the current league leaders in the northern part of the English Capital. We believe the Reds will emerge as winners at the full time whistle.
Predicted Score: Tottenham Hotspur 2-3 Liverpool
