Tottenham the Giants Slayer Sets a Trap for Liverpool

The “Giants Slayer”—that’s the title Tottenham Hotspur has earned this season. After demolishing Manchester United with a 3-0 win and thrashing their city rivals Manchester City 4-1, Spurs now have their sights set on repeating last season’s feat against their guest Liverpool in what promises to be the highlight of Match week 17 in the Premier League.

While Tottenham claimed a 2-1 victory in their last game at home, Liverpool remains the stronger side. The Reds have only lost twice in their last 23 encounters with Spurs and have scored at least one goal in their last 17 encounters.

However, the odds aren’t in Spurs’ favor. They’ve lost nine of their last 11 matches against league leaders and have managed only one clean sheet in their last 23 home games.

A few days before the match, Spurs’ Australian coach Ange Postecoglou acknowledged the challenge posed by Liverpool, who have been in an exceptional form this season in the league. Meanwhile, Tottenham finds itself in 10th place on the table.

Postecoglou described coaching in the Premier League to running for prime minster position, saying, “We have elections every weekend, and people either vote for us or against us.”

He added, “We’ve lost all forms of respect in our society. People hold positions, and their replacements are being discussed while they’re still doing their jobs. As a society, we’re too quick to discard people and move on without thought or care.”

He continued, “This job is the hardest in any field of life. You could say politics, but this is tougher. The longevity in this role means very few leave it unscarred.”

Here are the key indicators to help you predict the outcome and win valuable prizes with Betway:

● Tottenham has scored more goals in the first 15 minutes of matches than any other Premier League team this season (9 goals), with five of them coming in their last two matches.

● After conceding only three goals in their first eight league games, Liverpool has let in 10 goals in their last seven. Their last two matches—a 3-3 draw against Newcastle and a 2-2 draw with Fulham. The last time Liverpool drew three consecutive league matches in the same season was in October 2015.

● A win for Liverpool would see them top the league table at Christmas for the first time since the 2020-21 season. However, Liverpool has won the title in only one of the last seven seasons they led at Christmas, in 2019-20.

● With two assists against Southampton in the previous match, Son Heung-min has now recorded 68 assists in the Premier League—the joint-highest in Tottenham’s history, alongside Darren Anderton.

● Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in 22 of Liverpool’s 31 league goals this season (71%), the highest contribution rate for any player across all teams this season. With 13 goals and nine assists, Salah could become the first player in Premier League history to reach double digits for both goals and assists before Christmas in a single season.
