Tottenham face Liverpool on Sunday in what could be a very interesting match between two sides that are brilliant on their day.

Liverpool have been incredible this season, and they rightfully sit at the top of the Premier League.

Tottenham, on the other hand, have been wildly inconsistent this season, and their last few results show some of Spurs’ biggest problems.

Tottenham know they have an inconsistency issue right now, but they do have a knack of turning up against the big teams.

Spurs beat Manchester City 4-0 at The Etihad a few weeks ago, while they beat Manchester United 4-3 in the cup in midweek.

Spurs have the capacity to upset Liverpool, and it’s hard to predict this game heading into this match.

Speaking on the An Echo of Glory Podcast, Jamie Carragher has been previewing this game, and he’s made his prediction for how this match will go.

Jamie Carragher predicts Tottenham vs Liverpool

Carragher shared his verdict on how this game on Sunday will pan out.

Predictably, the pundit says that Liverpool will be victorious, tipping the Reds to win 3-1, but he did note that Arne Slot’s side haven’t looked as good since Ibrahima Konate’s injury.

“I can’t see Tottenham not scoring. You know, I think we haven’t quite been the same defensively without Konate in there, but I think we’ve only got Konate out now, and Bradley, but you know, Conor Bradley’s young, but he’s not first choice and is probably backup to Trent. So we’re going to have a pretty strong bench Liverpool at the weekend, and I know that will obviously be a problem for Tottenham,” Carragher said.

“So I think Liverpool will win. I think Liverpool will win 3-1.”

Liverpool’s record without Ibrahima Konate

Carragher says that Liverpool haven’t looked the same without Konate in recent weeks, and he isn’t wrong.

Indeed, Konate has earned massive praise for his performances this season, and Liverpool, quite simply, haven’t been as good without the Frenchman.

Liverpool haven’t been terrible without Konate, far from it, but the Reds have now dropped points in each of their last two league games, so Tottenham do have reason to feel confident heading into this match.

Liverpool have been the best team in the Premier League this season, and with Manchester City dropping points once again on Saturday afternoon against Aston Villa, the Reds will be even more bullish about their title chances.

While Konate will be missed in this game, there’s no reason why Liverpool can’t go on and secure all three points in north London on Sunday.
