Tottenham League Position: 15th League Form: LLW
Spur’s league campaign was stunted by the postponement of their opening fixture against Everton and while they suffered drubbings against both Manchester clubs they managed to find their first 3 points with a 2-0 victory over Wolves last weekend.
New signings Scott Parker and Emanuel Adebayor were stand out performers with Luka Modric also on song and the ex-Togolese captain scoring on his debut. The strong on loan striker has a good record against Liverpool after he scored against them in 2008. If you can see him scoring against a Liverpool defence, which hasn’t looked at its best this season so far, why not back him at 3.25 on Ladbrokes to score any time in the fixture.
Rafael van De Vaart has is yet to open his account for this season and will be hungry for goals after being omitted from the Europa League squad. Last season the Dutch hitman opened the scoring for Spurs against Tottenham with a superb strike, so his odds of 8.5 on Victor Chandler to score first could be cause for a few quid ventured on him being the first goalscorer.
Liverpool
The last time Liverpool beat Tottenham was back in January of 2010 where Dirk Kuyt bagged both of the goals. Kuyt has featured this season and should keep his starting berth ahead of Andy Carroll and if you fancy him to bag a brace against Spurs again then he is tipped at good odds of 26.0 on Blue Square, which must be worth some money.
The last 5 meetings between these sides haven’t warranted any more than 4 goals so a good bet might be to tip the game to have under 4.5 goals at odds of 1.14 on Victor Chandler.
Luis Suarez will be picked out as the danger man in this squad and will be looking to add to his tally of 2 goals this season by scoring here. Tottenham’s defenders aren’t the quickest and with Suarez’s dribbling he could cause them problems as they tire so why not tip him to score last at odds of 7.5 on Victor Chandler.
2-1 has been the score in 2 of the 3 most recent games between these sides so tipping a 2-1 to the side more in form after their win last weekend could prove a good bet at odds of 11.0 on Ladbrokes.
