Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview

Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday in a Premier League fixture that presents a stark contrast in form — Spurs arrive having lost all five of their last outings, while the Reds head into this one carrying their own inconsistency but with considerably more quality across the squad.

Liverpool’s most recent outing was a 1-0 defeat away at Galatasaray in the Champions League knockout stage on March 10. Prior to that, they won 3-1 away at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup, and before that lost 2-1 away at Wolves in the league on March 3. Earlier in this run, a 5-2 home win over West Ham and a 1-0 win away at Nottingham Forest complete a sequence that shows Liverpool’s quality in attack — 48 goals scored on the season — but also the vulnerabilities that have crept in. With 39 conceded and a goal difference of just +9, there are defensive concerns to address. Liverpool are also heavily impacted by injuries — Bradley, Isak, Leoni and Endo are all ruled out, with Alisson and Frimpong listed as doubtful.

Tottenham’s form has collapsed entirely — five defeats on the spin across all competitions, including a 5-2 thrashing away at Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, a 3-1 home loss to Crystal Palace, a 2-1 defeat away at Fulham, a 4-1 home loss to Arsenal and a 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle. Their goal difference of -7 and 46 goals conceded speak to a defensive crisis. The injury list is extraordinary — Odobert, Bentancur, Bergvall, Davies, Kudus, Kulusevski, Maddison, Udogie, Van de Ven and Palhinha all feature, with Romero also doubtful.

Liverpool have dominated this fixture historically, winning four of the last five meetings without a draw. Most recently, Liverpool won 2-1 away at Tottenham in December 2025, and also claimed a 5-1 home win in April 2025. Spurs’ sole victory in the run was a 1-0 home win in the Carabao Cup in January 2025.

Possible line-ups

Liverpool (4-2-3-1) Becker, Kerkez, Konaté, Dijk, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Allister, Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo, Ekitiké

Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1) Vicario, Spence, Dragusin, Danso, Porro, Gray, Simons, Tel, Solanke, Muani, Sarr

Injured Players:

Liverpool: Conor Bradley (Out), Alexander Isak (Out), Giovanni Leoni (Out), Wataru Endo (Out), Alisson Becker (Doubtful), Jeremie Frimpong (Doubtful)

Tottenham Hotspur: Wilson Odobert (Out), Rodrigo Bentancur (Out), Lucas Bergvall (Out), Ben Davies (Out), Mohammed Kudus (Out), Dejan Kulusevski (Out), James Maddison (Out), Destiny Udogie (Out), Micky van de Ven (Out), João Palhinha (Doubtful), Cristian Romero (Doubtful)

Tottenham’s injury situation is severe in the extreme — nine players unavailable with two more doubts, gutting their defensive and midfield options entirely. Liverpool’s absentees are significant but manageable in comparison; Spurs’ depth has been stretched beyond breaking point and it will take a monumental collective effort to contain a Liverpool side who retain considerable attacking firepower.
