Liverpool vs Tottenham prediction
Scoring goals has been a big issue for both of these two sides and with this being a cup game, expect an ultra-attacking style of play from each head coach with no points at stake and other more important competitions to focus on. This is about Liverpool getting back on track after a goalless draw at home to Fulham, while Tottenham are yet to score in the Premier League this campaign.
Spurs did put five past Charlton Athletic in the last round of the League Cup though and with less pressure on their shoulders in a cup match, should play with more freedom. This could lead to a different Spurs compared to what we usually see and when taking this into account, the shrewd play may well be to back over 2.5 goals scored in this encounter.
Liverpool vs Tottenham tip: Over 2.5 goals
