Tottenham face Liverpool this weekend and one man who may have some mixed emotions heading into this game is Jamie Redknapp.
The former midfielder, of course, played for both Tottenham and Liverpool during his playing career, while his Dad, Harry, was also Spurs’ manager for quite some time too.
Redknapp will have mixed feelings about who he wants to win this game, and he’s tried his best to predict this game when speaking on the Sky Sports Football Podcast.
The pundit thinks that this will be a very open game with plenty of goals, but ultimately, he’s expecting the points to be shared here and for this one to finish level.
Redknapp predicts a draw
The pundit gave his view on how this game will pan out.
“It’s going to be a fascinating game that is hard to call, but if I was in either dressing room I’d be more confident in the Spurs one, because of the form they’re in because of the last two league games for Liverpool. What it took out of Spurs mentally and emotionally on Wednesday, time will tell, but it will played a part because mentally to know you’re a goal away from going out and the high it gives you,” Redknapp said.
“The fact it’s on a Sunday helps Spurs. I don’t see Spurs losing this game, Son will be a huge miss, but Liverpool are going to have to really produce something. Salah has been scoring some goals. I’m not going to sit on the fence because they’re my two former sides, I just have a feeling for a draw here, it has that feel to it, a very open game with plenty of goals.”
Who knows?
Honestly, it’s impossible to predict this game right now.
Liverpool are blowing hot and cold at the moment, but are still one of the most talented teams in the Premier League, while Spurs have been playing some utterly atrocious football and grinding out results.
Usually, you’d call a battle between these two teams a high-quality affair, but this game may genuinely come down to which side can make the fewest mistakes.
Both teams are on unstable ground here, and this match could go either way.
