Tottenham vs Liverpool Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Reds dominated the proceedings when these clubs last faced each other.

Tottenham Hotspur are ready to go head-to-head against Liverpool FC for their matchweek 17 contest of the 2025-26 Premier League. This intense outing is going to take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Thomas Frank-led side are coming in after a thrashing defeat against Nottingham Forest in their previous league outing. It was a poor show by the Spurs. They are now in 11th place on the league table. Tottenham Hotspur are going to be at home for their next match, but it is going to be a tough outing for them.

The Reds secured a 2-0 win against Brentford in their previous league game. It was a good performance by them and they will be keen to keep their momentum flowing. The Arne Slot-led Liverpool are in seventh place on the Premier League table and a win here can get them to the top four. They are going to be the visiting team, but will be confident.

Players to Watch

Richarlison (Tottenham Hotspur)

The Brazilian striker will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side on the attacking front. Even though he failed to score a goal for Tottenham Hotspur in their previous league outing, Richarlison remains one of the important men in the squad. In 16 league games this season, he has scored six goals and has two assists to his name.

Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool)

Hugo Ekitike is coming in after scoring a sensational brace, which helped Liverpool secure three points against the Seagulls. It was a top effort by the Frenchman, who will be yet again gearing up to help his side in the final third. He has now scored seven goals in 15 Premier League appearances this season.

Hugo Ekitike has been named the latest @premierleague Player of the Matchweek 🙌
