Writing in his column for BBC Sport, Chris Sutton has tried his best to predict the result of Tottenham vs Liverpool this weekend.
This may be the hardest game to predict in the Premier League at the moment.
Liverpool are clearly a talented squad but they’re massively underperforming at the moment, while Spurs are also blowing hot and cold, playing drab football that is somehow still grinding out decent results.
This game is so unpredictable at the weekend, but Sutton believes that the Reds will edge this one 2-1.
Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool
Sutton gave his view on this game.
“I honestly don’t know what to expect from either team here because as good as Liverpool have been in Europe over the past couple of weeks, they have been as poor in the Premier League to lose to Nottingham Forest and then Leeds,” Sutton wrote.
“As for Spurs, well they seem to specialise in starting games badly then battling back to win. Whether they can do that without Son is another matter though.
“Both managers, Antonio Conte and Jurgen Klopp, have been moaning a lot about how exhausted their players are so, based on that, this will be a dull game between two tired teams.
“I don’t see it turning out that way myself, though. Both teams are so erratic that they could end the game completely differently to the way they start it, so it will be exciting to watch.
“I am going for Liverpool to edge it, although I have to admit that is a massive guess.”
Which team will turn up?
This game will be decided based on which team turns up here.
Liverpool have been shocking as of late, and if they play as they did against Leeds and Nottingham Forest, they will be beaten once again.
However, Spurs have also been in a bad run of form, and while they’ve mounted two second-half comebacks over the past week, if they start as slowly as they have been doing, this game could quickly get away from them.
This match is genuinely unpredictable and it should make for a fascinating watch.
