We simulated Tottenham vs Liverpool with EA FC to predict Premier League clash

After last weekend's north London derby thriller, Tottenham return to Premier League action with a tough test against an in-form Liverpool side.

Son Heung-min scored twice as Spurs came from behind two times to claim a 2-2 draw against Arsenal in their last outing, leaving the Lilywhites fourth in the Premier League table and yet to lose a league game. And with no Carabao Cup football, Ange Postecoglou's side have had nearly a week of rest ahead of Liverpool's visit on Saturday.

The Reds seem to be back to their best this season, with Liverpool and Arsenal the two Premier League sides yet to lose a game across all competitions. Spurs have had no luck against the Reds in recent times, with the Lilywhites without a win in the last 12 meetings.

So, could Tottenham end their winless run against Liverpool on Saturday? Let's take a look.

We simulated Spurs vs Liverpool to get a score prediction

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that Spurs could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison; Kulusevski, Son, Solomon.

We predict that the Reds could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones; Salah, Nunez, Diaz.

Spurs were caught off guard by a rapid start from Liverpool, and 25 minutes in the visitors were two goals ahead thanks to goals from Darwin Nunez and a long-range Dominik Szoboszlai strike. Behind at the break, things needed to change, and a fantastic start to the second half saw Spurs get one back.

James Maddison was pulling strings in the middle as he looked for a way through to the Liverpool goal, and the midfielder fizzed a pass into the feet of Son who smartly flicked his pass into the feet of Dejan Kulusevski. On the wrong side of the defender, the winger powered home from close range to make it 2-1 with just under 40 minutes remaining.

With momentum on their side, Spurs started to dominate, and they almost made it 2-2 when Cristian Romero headed onto the post from a corner before Yves Bissouma blasted the second ball down the throat of Alisson. Spurs got more desperate for a goal as the game went on, and they left themselves short-changed at the back as Liverpool grabbed a third late on.

Pedro Porro's cross into the box was headed clear by Virgil van Dijk, and Alexis Mac Allister hooked the ball forward for Mohamed Salah to chase. Salah latched onto the pass ahead of Romero to go through one-on-one with the keeper, and a calm finish saw the winger find the bottom corner to make it 3-1
