Liverpool FC strongly tipped by Opta to secure victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.

Liverpool FC go into Sunday’s Premier League meeting with Tottenham Hotspur as clear favourites, based on the latest prediction model from Opta.

The Reds host Spurs at Anfield in a match that could be crucial at both ends of the table. Liverpool remain in the hunt for a top-four spot, while the north London side are trying to keep their distance from the relegation zone.

However, Arne Slot’s team have shown mixed form recently. Liverpool were beaten 2–1 away at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league but responded with a 3–1 FA Cup win at Molineux. Their momentum was then checked again by a narrow 1–0 defeat to Galatasaray SK in the Champions League during the week.

While previewing the fixture, Opta pointed to that uneven run, noting that the league loss at Wolves dented Liverpool’s push for the top four, though they quickly bounced back with their FA Cup victory just days later.

Even with those inconsistencies, the data still puts Liverpool in a strong position ahead of the clash. History also heavily favours the Reds in this matchup.

Liverpool have been dominant at home against Tottenham, losing only once in their last 31 league games at Anfield against Spurs. They are also unbeaten in the last 14 meetings there since a 2–0 defeat back in May 2011.

That impressive record is one of the key reasons why Liverpool are widely tipped to win again.

Former Arsenal FC midfielder Paul Merson has also backed Liverpool for a convincing victory, suggesting the main question could simply be how many goals they manage to score.

With Spurs dealing with a number of injuries and suspensions before their trip to Merseyside, the statistics indicate this could be the perfect chance for Liverpool to get their season back on track.
