Hide AdSince January 11th 2020, Tottenham have won just once against Liverpool, which was one of the Reds' only defeats this season. It was a fixture with a lot to digest as the Reds saw two players sent off, a Joël Matip own goal, and a Luis Díaz opener ruled offside after a 'significant human error' from VAR.
Liverpool fans have every right to feel confident ahead of this game, as not only will they be looking to make amends for their previous meeting, but their recent record against Spurs is stronger than Arsenal and City's.
