Tottenham’s streak has faced a couple of very tough challenges lately, but Ange Postecoglou continues to impress during his debut campaign in England. Last weekend, Spurs needed to come from behind twice in the North London derby to avoid their first defeat of the season, and two goals deep into stoppage time helped Postecoglou’s men to keep their unbeaten start going the week before versus Sheffield United.
Postecoglou has truly revitalized Tottenham, and the confidence within the team must be growing with each week. A good result against Liverpool would be another major boost for the spirit of the team, especially considering the team’s poor history in this fixture. Across the last 23 meetings in all competitions, Tottenham has beaten the Reds just once, winning 4-1 at Wembley in 2017. Liverpool remains unbeaten at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, having recorded three wins and a draw.
Liverpool’s streak has also faced a couple of tough tests, but the 2020 Premier League champions always seem to find a way to get out of trouble. Jürgen Klopp’s men have five wins and a draw on the board through the first six league outings of the campaign despite conceding the opening goal in three of the matches.
Liverpool’s impressive attack has helped the team to recover from early setbacks. The Reds have struck 15 times already, getting three goals in each of the last three Premier League matches. Mohamed Salah is up to his usual tricks and Darwin Nunez looks poised for a breakout campaign.
Salah and Nunez both sit on three goals, but the Uruguayan has been a lot more productive with his work, averaging a goal for every 74 minutes he spends on the pitch. Klopp has used him as more of an impact sub, but Nunez’s play is becoming simply too good to ignore, and it should eventually help him become an automatic starter. On Saturday, Nunez will look to cause havoc for a defense that has conceded over a goal per game early in the season.
