Liverpool FC: current form, latest results, statistics
⚽ The last three results: 2: 1 vs. FC Fulham, 3-1 vs. Bayern Munich, 4: 2 vs. Burnley
In the past three games of Liverpool can be seen three major strengths of the team Jürgen Klopp: Outstanding offensive, a durable nerve costume – and the sovereignty of a champion.
First the offensive: Their outstanding skills in the attacking game, the Reds have proven in recent weeks, especially against Burnley. The duel with the Clarets did not always prove to be a solid defense, but thanks to four of their own, this weakness did not weigh heavily, with a 4-2 win and a double for Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mané.
In the subsequent Champions League quarter-final, Liverpool finally proved stable nerves: After the 0-0 in the first leg they were in Munich under pressure, but the team seemed to help this constellation rather than harm. With one of the strongest performances of the season and remarkable calm before the goal drew the Klopp-Eleven the German champion the tooth – 3: 1.
Less than three days later, the daily routine of the league was again on the agenda – and here the Reds showed their sovereignty: Liverpool played no outstanding football against Kellerkind Fulham, neither offensively nor defensively, but the team also showed the necessary class and sovereignty with half strength to get home the important work victory (2: 1). As Manchester City ran aground on the same weekend in the Cup, Liverpool took the chance to jump at least in the meantime to No. 1. This position is now to defend against Tottenham.
Possible line-up Liverpool FC
Reds coach Klopp is currently struggling with some staffing issues, including Joe Gomez, Naby Keita, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Xherdan Shaqiri. So be it: Thanks to a high-caliber squad these losses are largely painful – as in the previous weeks. The following formation seems conceivable:
⮑ Alisson – Milner, van Dijk, Matip, Robertson – Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum – M. Salah, Roberto Firmino, S. Mané
Tottenham Hotspur: current form, latest results, statistics
⚽ The last three results: 1: 2 vs. Southampton, 1-0. Borussia Dortmund, 1: 1 vs. Arsenal FC
It seems as if the Tottenham Hotspur just run out of steam at the end of the season: Only one of the last five competitive games could the Londoners decide for themselves – which has made the team in the league again vulnerable.
For a long time, third place did not seem to take the Spurs, but thanks to the current period of weakness, Arsenal have come down to just one point against the city rivals – and he could have gone even further: in the direct duel three weeks ago, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was in the final seconds of derby at the penalty spot, but forgave the victory miserably. It stayed at the Tottenham view flattering 1: 1.
The team had less luck against another local rivals: In the duel with Chelsea, where it had previously grazed violently, the Spurs clearly lost out and lost deservedly with 0: 2.
The negative climax, however, followed until the last matchday: Tottenham had offered the opportunity in the relegation candidate from Southampton, to regain self-confidence against a individually clearly defeated counterpart, but instead, the team found itself in the role of the build-up opponent: Despite a 1 : 0-lead at half time lost the Spurs with 1: 2.
At least since losing to Southampton, it is clear that Tottenham is currently undergoing a serious period of weakness that can not be attributed to a difficult game schedule alone. Hope donates in this phase probably above all the successful CL-round of sixteen against Dortmund, in which the Spurs both in the outward as well as in the second leg showed iskalte nerves (3: 0 and 1: 0). Against Liverpool, Tottenham fans will probably hope that the team shows a similar cold-bloodedness and thereby kidnaps from the Anfield Road three points.
Possible lineup Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs coach Pocchettino has suffered no losses alongside Eric Dier (muscle injury) and Heung-min Son (international). He should use his personal freedoms for a defensive-oriented formation in which readiness for action and backward movement are at the forefront – as follows:
⮑ Lloris – Trippier, D. Sanchez, Vertonghen, D. Rose – Wanyama, Sissoko – Eriksen, Alli, Lucas – H. Kane
Best Betting Predictions Liverpool FC vs Tottenham
Although the Tottenham Hotspur is an absolute top team, Liverpool is a clear favorite on the betting market.
The fact is: Liverpool are in the top flight with the confidence of twelve unbeaten competitive matches in a row – and has not yet lost a single league game at home (13 wins, two defeats). The offensive trio to Salah, Mané and Firmino spread the usual horror and last cracked the big FC Bayern.
Tottenham, on the other hand, suffered a surprise defeat in Southampton last time (1: 2) and was beaten in the weeks before. Only a single point separates the Spurs now from the fourth, the Arsenal FC, who not so long ago was still eight points behind the city rivals.
All in all, therefore, you can actually assume that you are dominated by a dominant Liverpool player who will persistently defend the defense-focused Tottenham. At the end of this venture should be crowned with success – simply because Liverpool in terms of efficiency and coldness this season already demonstrated great skills, such as recently in Munich.
