Tottenham Hotspur are looking to complete their first league double over Liverpool since the 2010-11 season, beating two different Reds managers that campaign (Roy Hodgson and Kenny Dalglish). Their last league double over the Reds beating the same manager twice was in Dalglish’s first spell in 1986-87. Ange Postecoglou’s side currently find themselves sitting in fifth place in the Premier League table, seven points behind Aston Villa in fourth. Tottenham haven’t lost any of their last six away Premier League games on a Sunday (W2 D4), with their last such defeat coming at Anfield against Liverpool in April 2023.

They’ve failed to score in both defeats, last losing three in a row without reply at Anfield in March 2021. Liverpool have kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 Premier League matches, including none in their last eight since beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 in March.
