Liverpool Set to Expose Spurs’ Struggles in High-Stakes North London Clash
Right now, all eyes are turning toward Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs prepare to host Liverpool in what looks, on paper, like a heavyweight Premier League fixture. But when you dig a little deeper into the numbers, the form, and the context around both squads, this match is being framed very differently. The expectation going into this weekend is that Liverpool are not just favorites — they’re expected to control the game, limit chances, and possibly walk away with a clean sheet.
A lot of this confidence around Liverpool comes from how solid they’ve been away from home under Arne Slot. It’s worth pointing out that many of Liverpool’s recent away wins have come in low-scoring matches. That trend matters here because Spurs are struggling badly in the attacking department. While Tottenham are usually associated with high tempo and aggressive football, that version of the team just hasn’t shown up consistently this season.

In fact, Spurs’ attacking numbers paint a worrying picture. They’re averaging fewer than 10 shots per game, just over three shots on target, and barely generating one expected goal per match. Those are numbers you’d expect from teams fighting relegation, not one trying to compete near the top half of the table. Because of that, another blank in front of goal is being widely predicted.
Injuries and absences have played a major role in this decline. Key players like James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, and Dejan Kulusevski remain unavailable, while Destiny Udogie is also sidelined. On top of that, Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma are away on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations. What’s left is a patched-up Spurs side lacking creativity, rhythm, and cutting edge — especially against elite opposition.
Liverpool, meanwhile, arrive with momentum and balance. Their defense has been disciplined, their midfield has been well-structured, and they’ve shown a willingness to manage games rather than chase chaos. Against a Spurs side struggling to create clear chances, that calm control is expected to be decisive.
The likely pattern is simple: Liverpool dominate territory, Spurs are forced deep, and chances for the home side are kept to a minimum. Goals may not come in bunches, but they don’t necessarily need to. A professional performance, built on defensive solidity and clinical moments, feels like the most probable outcome.
As things stand, a Liverpool win combined with a low total goal count is being viewed as the smartest angle. A 2–0 victory for the visitors is the scoreline many are settling on — a result that would underline just how far apart these two teams currently are, despite the size of the occasion.
