EPL ROUND UP: LIVERPOOL VS TOTTENHAM

-

Liverpool have lost just one of their last 13 Premier League meetings with Tottenham (Won 8, Draw 4), going down 1-4 at Wembley in October 2017.

Tottenham are winless in their last eight away league games against Liverpool (Draw 3, Lost 5), last winning at Anfield in May 2011 (2-0), thanks to goals from Rafael van der Vaart and Luka Modric.

Liverpool won both league meetings with Spurs last season, and also beat them 2-0 in the Champions League final. They last won four in a row against them between 2013-2015 (a run of five).

Liverpool have won each of their last 11 Premier League games at Anfield - they last embarked upon a longer winning run at home in the top-flight during a 13-game streak between April and November 1985.

Tottenham are without a win in their last 10 Premier League away games (Draw 2, Lost 8), including a 1-2 defeat to Liverpool in March. The Lilywhites last endured a longer such run between May 2000-January 2001 under George Graham (14 games).

Tottenham's Harry Kane has been directly involved in seven goals in nine Premier League appearances against Liverpool (5 goals, 2 assists). However, Kane failed to score in both of his Premier League games against Liverpool last season, after netting three goals in two games against them in 2017-18.
