Liverpool host Tottenham at Anfield on the Premier League matchday 31.
Having played 29 games Jurgen Klopp’s men are 9th in the table with 44 points earned. They are only 3 points behind the eurocups zone. Moreover they even have chances to gatecrash the top-4, but their inconsistency may get in their way. In their last 5 games Klopp’s side first recorded a draw, then won three games in a row that was ended by bitter loss to Southampton last matchday. The thing is the Reds had 2:0 lead, but Klopp made a mistake relying on out-form Martin Skrtel in the second half. So the final result was 2:3 in favor of Southampton.

During those games the Reds scored 15 goals and conceded only 6. They have scored in all 5 games and recorded 2 clean-sheets. On top of that Liverpool have been undefeated in their last 5 home games (3 wins, 2 draws). Moreover they did not concede at all in their last 2 games at Anfield.
After 31 matches played the Spurs are second with 61 points earned with 5 points behind leaders Leicester City. For the first time in years Tottenham can compete for the golden medals and they’ll go all out to succeed. Their elimination from the Europa League only proves their ambitions to battle for the EPL trophy. Tottenham won three of their last 5 games. Last matchday they hosted Bournemouth. The hosts succeeded easily recorded 3 goals. Tottenham’s key striker Harry Kane made a brace in that match.
We should mention they had 9:4 goal difference in those 5 games. They recorded 2 clean-sheets in their last two matches. If one look at Tottenham’s last 5 away games in all competitions one could see the Spurs won only two of them. They tied one and lost 2 games. Moreover, Pochettino’s men failed to score in two of them.
In the last 5 head-to-heads Liverpool recorded 4 wins and 1 draw (0:0 earlier this season). The two teams seen over 2.5 goals scored in 4 of them. On top of that bookies consider Liverpool as a bit more favorable side.
Although Liverpool have been highly inconsistent this season they are on solid home streak now. They even beat two Manchester clubs here recently. We’re not sure the hosts will be victorious, but they will be surely many goals scored. It seems the bookies underestimated teams’ attacking potential and they will easily score 3 goals at least.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals in the match.
