Previous meetings
Liverpool enjoyed much the upper hand across four clashes between the clubs last season.
They ran out 6-3 victors in this fixture almost exactly 12 months ago, and then sealed their status as Premier League champions with a 5-1 win in the return at Anfield in April.
In between, the Reds defeated Tottenham 4-1 on aggregate in their two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final.
What they said
Frank, Spurs head coach
“It’s a very good team that we’re facing but we also know if we hit a high level, we can compete very well, I believe we can do something good and we’ll go for the three points.
“We worked very hard on our breakthrough phase, worked very hard on our positions there, and how we do that this week. Then, of course, [we] also worked on the defensive side of the game.”
Pre-match stats
This is the top-scoring fixture in Premier League history (206 goals). The last three league matches between the pair have seen 21 goals (seven per game), while there have been at least three goals in 14 of their last 16 Premier League meetings.
Richarlison has been involved in seven Premier League goals against Liverpool (four goals, three assists), more than he has against any other opponent. All four of his goals have come at Anfield.
Following their 2-0 win over Brentford, Spurs will be looking to win back-to-back home Premier League matches for the first time since a run of three ending in November 2024.
Tottenham have won seven of their last nine Premier League games kicking off at 5.30pm on a Saturday, a run which includes a 2-1 win over Liverpool in September 2023.
