Anfield Ready to Pile Pressure on Struggling Spurs. Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Liverpool vs Tottenham, which has been placed with William Hill:
Alexis Mac Allister Over 1 SOT
Over 1 SOT
With 45 shots and 11 on target this season, the Argentine thrives in Liverpool's high-possession system (59.9%). His accuracy from set-pieces and the edge of the box makes him a persistent threat.
Mohamed Salah Over 1 SOT
Over 1 SOT
The league’s high-volume shooter with 62 attempts and 16 on target. His ability to find space inside the box (52 shots) against a leaky Everton defence is a major factor.
Dwight McNeil Over 1 SOT
Over 1 SOT
A key part of Everton's direct attack. McNeil benefits from the team's aerial dominance (21.9 duels won) to latch onto second balls and test the keeper with his powerful left foot.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall Over 1 SOT
Over 1 SOT
Boasting an elite 41% shot-on-target accuracy (13 SOTs from 32 shots), the midfielder is Everton’s most efficient shooter and expert at exploiting gaps in the transition.
The floodlights at Anfield are set to illuminate a fixture that feels increasingly like a crossroads for both clubs. Sunday’s 16:30 kickoff sees a Liverpool side firmly entrenched in the Premier League’s upper echelons welcome a Tottenham Hotspur team currently navigating a brutal period of form. While the hosts are looking to consolidate their position following a massive 5-1 victory in this exact fixture last season, the visitors arrive on Merseyside haunted by a six-match losing streak that has seen their season stall.
Anfield has historically been a graveyard for Tottenham’s ambitions; they have failed to secure a victory in their last 16 visits to this stadium. With Liverpool already boasting a 2-1 win over Spurs in London earlier this term, the psychological edge resides firmly with the men in red. For the visitors, this is more than just a game; it is a test of structural integrity against an opponent that averages over 15 shots per match and controls 60.3% of the ball. In a stadium where the atmosphere can swallow teams whole, the tactical margins and individual battles will define whether Spurs can break their cycle of defeat or if Liverpool will simply add another chapter to their home dominance.
Liverpool vs Tottenham Bet Builder Tip
Cody Gakpo: The Driving Force of the Anfield Attack
Cody Gakpo has established himself as a vital cog in the Liverpool machine, particularly when the game demands high attacking volume and relentless pressure. The Dutch forward’s statistical profile provides a compelling case for him to be at the centre of the action this Sunday. Gakpo enters this match having already netted six league goals this season, but it is his underlying shooting data that highlights his consistency as a threat. He has registered 64 total shots across his 27 appearances, demonstrating a clear appetite for testing the goalkeeper from his primary position on the left flank.
When analysing the tactical landscape of this match, Gakpo’s role becomes even more significant. Liverpool are exceptionally strong when attacking down the wings, a trait that aligns perfectly with Gakpo’s tendency to cut inside or stretch the play. This is a direct contrast to a Tottenham defence that is notably weak at defending against wide attacks. Gakpo averages 14 shots on target from his total output, and his recent form suggests he is finding his rhythm at the right time. In the high-scoring 5-2 win against West Ham, Gakpo was a constant menace, playing the full 90 minutes and getting on the scoresheet.
The Dutchman’s height and physicality also play into Liverpool’s overall aerial dominance. Standing at 193cm, he contributes to a side that thrives on crosses and second balls. His 38 aerial duels won this season show he is not just a threat with his feet but a target in the box during sustained waves of pressure. Given that Spurs struggle in aerial contests, Gakpo has multiple avenues to find a sight of goal. Whether it is through a fast break—where he has recorded 51 of his shots—or during regular play, his 143 touches in the opposition box this season suggest he will be heavily involved in the danger zone. With Liverpool expected to dominate possession at 60.3%, the sheer volume of opportunities created should allow Gakpo to register multiple attempts on target against a backline that has conceded 46 goals this season.

Ibrahima Konate: Physicality and Discipline in the Spotlight
The defensive battle at the heart of the Liverpool backline will likely be a physical one, and Ibrahima Konate is the man expected to lead that charge. While Konate is a dominant figure—winning 99 aerial duels at a success rate of 72.3%—his defensive style often puts him in direct competition with aggressive runners. This season, Konate has already accumulated five yellow cards, a figure that reflects the “fine line” he often walks when stopping counter-attacks.
Liverpool’s tactical setup involves pushing full-backs like Frimpong and Robertson high up the pitch, which frequently leaves Konate exposed to transition moments. Because Liverpool are weak at defending counter-attacks, Konate is often forced into tactical fouls to prevent high-quality chances. Tottenham, despite their poor form, still possess pace in transition through Mathys Tel and Richarlison. If Xavi Simons manages to connect these breaks, Konate will be required to engage in high-risk tackles. He has committed 29 fouls this season, and in a heated Anfield atmosphere against a direct opponent, the probability of him being caught on the wrong side of the referee increases. His role is to be the enforcer, and that naturally carries a higher risk of disciplinary action.
Conor Gallagher: A Midfield Battle on a Knife Edge
Conor Gallagher’s arrival at Tottenham was intended to add grit to the engine room, and he has certainly delivered on the aggressive side of the game. Gallagher is a high-octane midfielder who thrives on defensive contributions, but this often leads to a high foul count. Although his Premier League card count for this specific campaign is currently low, his style is defined by “moments” of high-pressure engagement. He has committed 11 fouls in limited minutes since joining, and his career history suggests a player who is never far from a caution when the tempo increases.
Tottenham as a team are struggling with discipline, averaging 2.49 yellow cards per game and having already seen five red cards this season. Gallagher will be tasked with disrupting a Liverpool midfield that boasts an 86% pass success rate and 60.3% possession. Chasing the ball for long periods at Anfield is exhausting work, and as fatigue sets in, Gallagher’s reactive tackling style becomes a prime candidate for a booking. He will be operating in the spaces where Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch look to drive forward; stopping these runners is a difficult task that often requires a “professional” foul. In a game where Spurs will likely be pinned back, Gallagher’s role as the primary disruptor places him directly in the firing line for a yellow card.
