22/12 Today’s Football Predictions: Tottenham vs Liverpool + 9 more tips

Betting Predictions

This weekend’s Premier League matchup between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool takes place in North London on Sunday afternoon before they face off in the EFL Cup semi-finals.

The league-leading Reds defeated Southampton 2-1 to maintain their quadruple ambitions, while Ange Postecoglou’s club triumphed 4-3 against Manchester United mid-week. 

Head-to-Head

Liverpool has dominated the last 20 Premier League matches between these two teams, winning 12 of them and losing just twice, including in October 2017. During this time, Liverpool scored 1.95 goals per game on average compared to the Spurs.

With five victories and six defeats in their last 20 home encounters, Tottenham’s record against Liverpool has been patchy. Even though Spurs defeated Liverpool at home in September of last year, it was their first victory against the Reds in seven previous meetings.

Team News

Ben Davies (hamstring), Cristian Romero (thigh), Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), Mikey Moore (illness), Wilson Odobert (hamstring), Richarlison (hamstring), and the suspended Rodrigo Bentancur will all be unavailable for this match, meaning Tottenham will continue to face a depleted defense during the holiday season.

However, Destiny Udogie, substituted early in the Southampton match, barely missed the EFL Cup victory because she was “a bit sore” and should be well enough to face Mohamed Salah on Sunday. Timo Werner may return from a viral infection.

Since captain Son only needs to set up one goal to set a new club record for Premier League assists after matching Darren Anderton’s record of 68 last weekend, Udogie for Djed Spence—albeit an in-form Djed Spence—should be the only change Postecoglou considers for this titanic match. The visitors’ main injury absences this weekend are anticipated to be Ibrahima Konate (knee) and Conor Bradley (hamstring); therefore, Liverpool’s only selection worries for Sunday’s match are likewise at the back, albeit to a far smaller extent.

Robertson can return to action after serving his suspension in the EFL Cup, but it wouldn’t be shocking if the Greek was selected because Kostas Tsimikas is returned from an ankle injury and the Scotsman isn’t playing at his best this season.

Salah could write another chapter in Premier League history after taking a complete break in the middle of the week. The Egypt international has already scored 13 goals and provided nine assists in the 2024–25 Premier League, making him the first player to reach double figures in both categories before Christmas in a single season.

Odds by Betway

Probable Line-Up

Tottenham Hotspur XI:

Forster; Porro, Gray, Dragusin, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Solanke

Verdict

Tip Draw❌

Reason

Both teams have scored in each of Tottenham’s last seven games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and given Liverpool’s recent defensive lapses, this trend shouldn’t stop in Sunday’s tantalizing matchup. Nevertheless, the Reds are adjusting to an additional day of rest, were able to bench some of their best players in the middle of the week, and will take on Tottenham, who are still without some of their most important defensive pieces. In summary, Liverpool should spend Christmas Day at the top, and the slot machine should keep spinning.

Tip: Mo Salah to Score✅

Reason

Mo Salah, who has scored 16 league and cup goals this season, is still the star player on the field even though the Anfield manager’s office has changed. The Egyptian has scored twice in the Reds’ past two away games at Southampton and Newcastle, and last week’s 2-2 draw with Fulham was just the fourth league game this season in which he has failed to score. He should be able to get back on the goal track as opportunities appear to be coming his way against a faltering Spurs defense.
