Capping off the day’s events, Liverpool will strive to arrest Tottenham Hotspur’s title charge at Anfield. The Reds are reeling in the wake of their collapse at Southampton last time out, while Spurs dominated Bournemouth in the previous round of fixtures.
Underlining their buoyant attack, Liverpool racked up five more goals (13) than any team in their last four outings. Intriguingly, the Merseysiders only placed fifth for attempts (58) during that period but profited from the best shot-conversion rate (22.4%). Delving into their home form, no side has conceded fewer shots inside the box (69) and big chances (13) on their own patch than Liverpool, which suggests they’re capable of stifling Spurs’ high-powered attack.
The Lilywhites ranked top for attempts (71), joint-top for big chances (10) and second for shots on target (28) over their last four matches, yet Mauricio Pochettino’s men will have been disappointed by an underwhelming shot-conversion rate (9.9%). Nonetheless, Tottenham chart second for goals (30), top for shots on target (128) and bottom for goals conceded (12) in road ties, illustrating their strength away from the capital.
