Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool Competition – Barclays Premier League Stadium: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Date: 30th September 2023 Kick-off time – 17:30 GMT
The Premier League season resumes this Saturday with Tottenham and Liverpool facing off in north London on matchday seven. Tottenham continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 2-2 draw against their bitter rivals Arsenal the latest in that sequence. That result not only preserved their unbeaten start to this Premier League season (W4, D2), but also opened up the opportunity to rewrite history as they could start a PL campaign unbeaten after their first seven games for just the third time. Except for their disappointing exit from the Carabao Cup, Ange Posteclogue has enjoyed a good start in his Tottenham managerial career and he will be desperate to continue against a Liverpool side that have proven stubborn to beat. The Australian could become the first ever PL manager to see his side score two or more goals in each of his first seven league games in charge. Not only that, but his positive start could see him join Antonio Conte as the only other Spurs manager to begin their tenure with a seven-game PL unbeaten streak. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp’s side travel to North London with the longest unbeaten run in the Premier League, having not lost in 17 league games (W12, D5). After an opening day draw against Chelsea, they have gone on a five-game winning run, scoring 14 times in that period. They have the opportunity to make history by winning at least six of their opening seven PL matches for only the third time in their history. Both prior occasions came under manager Klopp in 2018/19 and 2019/20, and the German should be confident of achieving it again since he has lost only one of his 18 managerial games against Tottenham (W11, D6). It hasn’t necessarily been smooth sailing for the German in that time, however, as 14 of those matches saw both teams find the net. The Reds therefore need to equally emphasise both their attack and defence, or their current possession of the PL’s longest unbeaten streak of 17 league games (W12, D5) could be in jeopardy.
