83/1 Ultimate Bet Builder for Liverpool's title decider
Before becoming a Sports Journalist for Free Super Tips, Aaron spent three years studying Sports Journalism at the University of Sunderland while taking in the Black Cats' 'glory years' under Martin O'Neill. Now back in Northern Ireland he turns niche stats into predictions for FST, while he's one of the few people on this island who is equally comfortable at Windsor Park and the Aviva.
Sunday’s late kick-offs are sure to split English football fans, with an FA Cup semi-final going head-to-head with Liverpool’s chance to clinch the Premier League title.
Tottenham head to Anfield fully focused on their Europa League clash with Bodo/Glimt on Thursday, so the 16th-placed side will be sending out a weakened lineup in a game where the Reds need a single point for the title.
That means we can expect a stress-free game for the home support, which is something that we’ve factored into our 83/1 Ultimate Bet Builder.
Liverpool vs Tottenham Ultimate Bet Builder
Virgil van Dijk to score
Set pieces remain an issue for Tottenham, as seen in their Carabao Cup semi-final at Anfield when Virgil van Dijk scored the final goal in a 4-0 victory.
The Dutchman scored in Liverpool’s last game at Anfield, while he has plenty to toast this weekend having extended his contract. The defender will be a huge threat from corners and it would be fitting for van Dijk to find himself among the scorers on Sunday.
Trent Alexander-Arnold to make an assist
Alexander-Arnold returned to the Liverpool side with a goal last weekend and he should step into the starting lineup for this clash. The England international has the second-highest Expected Assists for the Reds this term, which shows his creativity from full-back.
He had seven shot-creating actions in the last league meeting between the two sides, recording an assist in that clash in North London. This Spurs side have struggled all season and with heavy rotation expected, we can expect plenty of goals for the hosts.
Liverpool goalkeeper to make 3+ saves
Tottenham aren’t backed to cause many problems here, but the visitors are fifth in the Premier League for shots on target this season. They average 5.12 shots on target per game in the league, while they meet a goalkeeper in Alisson who has averaged over two shots per game in the Premier League.
We know how Spurs like to attack, but without their best finishers, getting on the scoresheet could be a struggle. That should make things easier for Alisson, so back him to make a few saves.
Under 2.5 cards
Given the stakes for both sides, it’s easy to see this being a quiet affair in terms of cards. Liverpool have the best disciplinary record in the league, while they’ve been shown zero cards in five of their previous eight Premier League games.
A Tottenham side who are focused on the Europa League have little incentive to turn this into a battle. They’ve been shown no more than one card in 11 of their last 15 league outings. Given the party atmosphere in the stands against a Spurs side that are just going through the motions, this should be a quiet day for referee Thomas Brammall.
