The Forward Line

by Elliott Line

We have had difficulty against Liverpool in recent seasons, losing each of our last five meetings by a combined score of 18 goals to 4. In this fixture last season we lost 3-0, to goals from Sterling, Gerrard and Alberto Moreno.

Nevertheless I see us as narrow favourites to win the game, but it’s far from a foregone conclusion. I rate the likelihood of us scoring as a cool 65%, of us scoring more than once as 24% and of us keeping a clean sheet as around 40%.

The most likely scorelines are: a 1-1 draw, a 1-0 win, a 1-0 defeat, and a 0-0 draw. Overall I have 38% for a Spurs win, 30% for a draw and 32% for a Liverpool win.
