Best Tip: Liverpool to win

As the stadium fills and the Liverpool players ready themselves for this clash, the bookies are predicting a victory for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below point in that direction too, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) data we factor into our predictive algorithms. The Anfield hasn't been an easy place to go for Spurs in the past, and we expect more of the same come Thursday night. A win / draw / win home win is the way to go.

Goal Statistics

Liverpool's defensive record is to be admired, Arne Slot's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive League Cup games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Tottenham Hotspur makes sense in this context.
