Tottenham’s high-energy, attacking style has yielded plenty of goals recently, but their defensive injuries leave vulnerabilities against Liverpool’s dynamic front line. Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz could exploit Spurs’ makeshift backline, while Son Heung-min will look to capitalize on any lapses from Liverpool’s defense.

Tottenham 2-3 Liverpool — Expect a high-scoring affair with Liverpool’s experience and quality edging out Spurs.
