London –
Duel Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool heating up the city of London this weekend. Here are 10 facts related to the match.
Tottenham, who have had a good start this season, will try to block Liverpool’s run of five consecutive wins in the league, after drawing against Chelsea at the start of the season.
The duel will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Saturday (30/9/2023) evening WIB. Tottenham have the advantage of not playing in the Carabao Cup in the middle of last week, so their players are in 100 percent condition.
Meanwhile, Liverpool had to overcome stiff resistance from Leicester City before winning 3-1. Can Tottenham stop Liverpool’s slick run? Or is it the Reds who are victorious again?
First, look at 10 facts related to duels Tottenham vs Liverpool as quoted by Opta:
– Tottenham only won once from 21 duels with Liverpool in the Premier League (6 draws 14 defeats), namely with a score of 4-1 at Wembley in October 2017.
– Liverpool scored at least one goal in the last 15 duels against Tottenham. But they have only had two clean sheets in that period, with both teams always scoring goals in the last six duels.
– Liverpool’s 17 match unbeaten run (12 wins, 5 draws) is 10 matches longer than other teams (Arsenal and Spurs, 7). Since the defeat to Man City with a score of 1-4 in April, only Man City (43 points) has more points than Liverpool (41).
– Tottenham, who are unbeaten in six matches, will try to extend their unbeaten start in the league to seven for the third time (not losing in the first 12 matches of 2016/2017 and the first seven matches of last season). Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglu could become the second Spurs manager after Antonio Conte who is unbeaten in the first seven matches (unbeaten in nine matches).
– Liverpool have always conceded first in their last two away games (vs Newcastle and Wolves) and have always won their last three away games when they conceded first (against West Ham in April). Throughout the history of the competition, only Man United have won more away games in a row while conceding first (7 games between September 2020 – January 2021).
– Tottenham scored at least two or more goals in six Premier League matches with Ange Postecoglu. The only manager who has made at least that record in the first seven matches in the competition is Craig Shakespeare (Leicester in April 2017).
– Liverpool scored three goals in their last three Premier League matches (vs Aston Villa, Wolves and West Ham). Liverpool tried to do it in four consecutive matches for the first time since March 2014 under Brendan Rodgers (6 matches).
– Mo Salah and Darwin Nunez created chances for each other at a rate of one chance per 29 minutes when playing together in the Premier League this season, the best ratio among any duo in the Premier League who played at least 100 minutes in the Premier League this season. Nunez’s four assists in the competition have all been to Mo Salah; only seven players have scored their first five assists for the same player, the most recent being Diogo Jota for Raul Jimenez (6 between 2018-2020).
– Son Heung-min has scored five goals in the last three matches, the same as in the previous 17 matches. All goals were scored in away games, while he failed to score in the last four home games.
– Mohamed Salah has scored at least a goal (6) or an assist (9) in his last 12 league matches, including Liverpool’s six matches this season (3 goals 4 assists). The only players who were involved in goals or assists in the first seven league matches were David Beckham (2000/2001) and Erling Haaland (2022/2023).
