For this pick of the week, we’re heading to Europe for a premier league faceoff between Liverpool and Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sept. 30.
The last time the two teams met was earlier this year on April 30, where Liverpool was able to clinch a 4-3 win against Tottenham, according to ESPN.
Liverpool will come out on top at the end of this game because they’ve won the last three out of five games against Tottenham.
Both teams have four wins and one tie in the premier league, however, Tottenham is ranked higher, coming in at second place on the list, whereas Liverpool is ranked at number three, according to ESPN.
Top scorers for Liverpool are forwards Mohammed Salah, Luis Díaz and Darwin Nunez, according to ESPN.
Tottenham wing-back Ivan Perišić will be out for this game and the remainder of the season, after suffering an ACL injury in his right knee, according to Football London.
Perišić played a major role in Tottenham’s latest wins, making his absence one that will be felt by the team, as well as fans.
Liverpool has a 44% chance of being the winner of this match-up. Tottenham, on the other hand, has a 32% chance of winning, according to Google.
Considering Liverpool has also won their last four games in the premier league, it’s safe to say they’re able to keep the momentum they have strong and alive.
