Overview
Opta's supercomputer still assesses Tottenham Hotspur has a 81.9% chance of staying in the Premier League. However, when the season is only 9 rounds away, Spurs are really bogged down in a survival battle after a series of unprecedented poor results in club history.
Tottenham is currently the only team in the Premier League that has not won any matches in 2026. The UEFA Champions League could have brought relief, but their crisis continues in Europe when they lost to Atletico Madrid 2-5 in the first leg of the round of 16.
Spurs even lost 0-4 after only 22 minutes, while goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky had to leave the field early after some serious mistakes.
The situation is getting very bad. Tottenham has lost 6 consecutive matches in all competitions - the longest defeat streak in the team's history. Coach Igor Tudor also lost all 4 matches since replacing Thomas Frank, marking the worst start for a Tottenham coach.
The Croatian coach is expected to stabilize the situation and help Spurs overcome the final stage of the season. However, if their form does not improve soon, the prospect of an early breakup is probably inevitable.
When playing away at Anfield, Spurs may even fall into the bottom 3 teams - although that scenario depends on West Ham's result against Manchester City and the match between Nottingham Forest and Fulham.
Currently, Tottenham is only one point ahead of the relegation zone and almost has no room for mistakes. They will also face Nottingham Forest directly on March 22 in a match that could mean 6 points.
Spurs have not won in 11 consecutive Premier League matches and lost all 5 of their last matches. In league history, they have only had a longer winning streak in February 1994 (7 matches) and November 2004 (6 matches).
In fact, Tottenham's decline has lasted for a long time. Since the beginning of last season, Spurs have only won 18 Premier League matches. Among the teams that regularly participate in the league during this period, only Wolves have fewer wins (15).
Although Liverpool is also not in top form, Arne Slot's team is still aiming for the top 4. The cheers from the audience at Anfield is also a big advantage.
Liverpool entered this match after a 0-1 defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League. Previously, they also lost 1-2 to Wolves in the Premier League - The Kop's ninth defeat this season.
This is more than Liverpool's total number of losses in the previous two seasons combined. The last time the Merseyside team lost more than 10 matches in a Premier League season was in the 2015-2016 season.
Liverpool have also lost 5 matches this season due to decisive goals in the 90th minute - the highest number in club history in a Premier League season.
This season is also not Mohamed Salah's most glorious time. However, the Egyptian striker still has an impressive scoring record against Tottenham.
Salah has scored a total of 16 goals against Spurs in his career (14 for Liverpool, 1 for Fiorentina and 1 for Basel), equal to the number of goals he scored against Manchester United.
Among them, 12 goals were scored in the Premier League. Only Alan Shearer (14 goals) scored more goals than Salah against Tottenham in this tournament.
Head-to-head record
The Kop have only lost one of their last 31 home matches against Tottenham in the Premier League (21 wins, 9 draws).
Spurs have also only won one of their last 16 encounters in the league (3 draws, 12 losses) and have lost 4 consecutive matches since the 2-1 victory in September 2023.
In the first leg in December, Liverpool won 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur thanks to goals from Isak and Hugo Ekitike. Richarlison narrowed the score at the end of the match, but Spurs were left with only 9 players after Xavi Simons and Romero were sent off.
Score prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Tottenham
The match between Liverpool and Tottenham takes place at 11:30 PM on March 15th (Vietnam time).
