S.P. Read Esq: Spurs v Liverpool
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to Sunday’s Premier League game between SPURS v LIVERPOOL and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
The final Premier League game of the weekend is the most interesting, on paper at least.
Tottenham welcome Liverpool to their temporary accommodation in a head to head that has only seen ‘overs’ oblige once in the last five encounters.
Huge match for both but for different reasons. Spurs need three points to move into a share of second and five points adrift of Man City who can do little wrong at the moment.
Liverpool need a win to basically steady a shaking ship and reduce mounting pressure on manager Jurgen Klopp.
The pre-season fears about the ‘Wembley factor’ for Spurs have largely come true. Their only ‘home’ league win came last time out against Bournemouth and that was a far from convincing 1-0 success. It seems Wembley is playing much more like a neutral venue which obviously counts against Spurs.
After a great start to the season Liverpool have dropped to eighth in the table. A midweek 7-0 thrashing of Maribor ended a run of three draws in a row but they have still only won one Premier League game from their last five.
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said of his rivals: “I think for me it’s one of the best squad in the Premier League. Liverpool have unbelievable players and a great manager. I think it will be tough to play against them.
“I told the players I think we need to be ready to give our best and compete in our best way and to deserve to win. But sure it will be a very tough game.”
Alli returns for Spurs and the Alli/Kane axis very much tilts me towards the home win. It might even start feeling like home if Spurs can get a good win this afternoon.
