“Do Liverpool Have What It Takes?” Neville Raises Doubts Ahead of Spurs Clash
Liverpool rarely approach a weekend match without strong opinions swirling around them, but this fixture has generated an unusual amount of doubt.
The Reds head to Tottenham with growing momentum, yet even experienced pundits found it hard to predict a clear result.
On The Overlap, Gary Neville captured the uncertainty early in the predictions discussion.
“I genuinely don’t know with this one,” the former defender confessed. “I really don’t.”
He initially leaned towards a draw, saying, “It feels like a 1-1,” before asking, “Do Liverpool have what it takes to go there and win?”
Why opinions were split on The Overlap
The rest of the panel reflected just how evenly poised the contest appears.
Ian Wright anticipated fireworks, predicting: “This feels like a 3-3 — definitely a draw.”
Roy Keane also sat on the fence, opting for a “2-2” outcome.
Jill Scott took a firmer stance, backing the Reds outright: “I’m going with a Liverpool win.”
Jamie Carragher shared that confidence, pointing to Tottenham’s home struggles.
“Liverpool win 2-1,” he said, adding, “Spurs’ home form is dreadful.”
After further debate, Neville revised his view, eventually settling on: “Alright, Liverpool to win 2-1.”
The division echoed recent weeks, including when Wright alone predicted Forest would beat Liverpool at Anfield — a call that proved uncomfortably accurate. It also contrasted with Keane’s earlier backing of Liverpool against Leeds, a match that ultimately ended in a draw despite expectations.
What this reveals about Liverpool’s current position
The hesitation isn’t about ability, but reliability.
Arne Slot’s side are unbeaten in four Premier League matches and come off a composed 2-0 victory over Brighton, with Hugo Ekitike once again leading the line effectively.
Liverpool are developing control rather than outright dominance, which helps explain the wide range of predictions.
Whether Carragher’s confidence is justified or Wright’s sense for chaos prevails, the Reds know a convincing win here would quickly silence the uncertainty surrounding them.
