Why you should back Liverpool
The Reds have been a completely different team at Anfield, and now they have their depth back. That depth helped them finish as league runners-up last season, one point behind Manchester City. Liverpool are 10-4-1 at home this season, with a 39-13 goal differential. Only five of Spurs' 16 victories have come on the road, where they are minus-6 in goals. On top of all that, the Reds are unbeaten in the past 11 meetings (8-3-0) in all competitions. Mohamed Salah has been healthy and leading the attack all season, and he scored two of his 16 league goals in the most recent meeting.
Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz are back from injury and have combined for seven goals and six assists despite starting 17 games between them. Darwin Nunez picked up a lot of slack in their absence and has scored nine times. Liverpool bombards the net, leading the EPL in shots on target (175). Salah is second in the league in total shots (99), while Nunez averages a league-high 4.76 attempts and 2.06 shots on target per 90 minutes. Tottenham will be relying on backup goalkeeper Fraser Forster, who has a 66.7 save percentage. Liverpool have conceded 14 fewer goals than Spurs this season. See which team to pick here.
Why You Should Back Tottenham
Spurs still have plenty of attacking prowess, especially now that Son Heung-Min seems to have emerged from a slump. The South Korean has scored in three of the past four matches, including the equalizer on Thursday, and has 11 goals in all competitions. Harry Kane, of course, is the main man for Spurs, and he is second in the league with 24 goals. He scored the lone goal in a 6-1 drubbing at the hands of Newcastle last Sunday. Tottenham need a shot of confidence and the rally against Man U should give them some momentum as they keep chasing one of those top four spots.
Tottenham remain one of the most efficient teams in the league, with their 35.4% of attempts on target third in the EPL. Liverpool allow opponents to hit the target almost 40% of the time, the worst mark in the EPL. Kane leads the league in shots (114) and is second in attempts on target (46). Ivan Perisic (team-high seven assists), Dejan Kulusevski (six assists), Pierre Hojbjerg (four goals, five assists) and Richarlison (three assists) are all players Liverpool will need to stop. That isn't easy, which is why Spurs have the fourth-most goals in the league with 60, one fewer than the Reds. See which team to pick here.
