Tottenham vs Liverpool: Bet on the first loss for Conte this season in the EPL

In these times of uncertainty, every match is worth its weight in gold for fans and spectators. That is why we are waiting with particular trepidation for the match between Tottenham and Liverpool. Along with it comes the confrontation between Antonio Conte and Jurgen Klopp. How will it turn out? Another Merseyside triumph?

Tottenham form

Tottenham have been out of soccer for two weeks. The game with Burnley was cancelled because of the weather, and the meeting with Rennes and Brighton didn't take place due to the COVID-19 outbreak on the Spurs. On top of that came a cancellation with the similarly covid-pat Leicester. The Londoners will leave the Conference League because of a busy schedule.

Nevertheless, under Antonio Conte, they have come close to the top 4. Tottenham are fourth on points lost and seventh on points gained, trailing their archrivals Arsenal by four points with three games to spare and fifth-placed West Ham by three points.

Under Conte, the Spurs have been unbeatable for four games. First, there was a nil game against Everton, then a streak of three wins in a row. They beat Leeds (2-1), Brentford (2-0), and Norwich (3-0). Now Don Antonio will face a much more serious opponent that will help us understand the real potential of the capital club.

Liverpool form

Liverpool continues to chase Man City in the leadership race and does not let the Citizens go an inch. The Reds are now on a six-match winning streak. COVID-19 has taken a bit of a toll on Jurgen Klopp's team, losing Virgil van Dijk and Fabinho as a result. But that didn't stop them from beating Newcastle 3-1. Thus, the total score of the last six games is now 17-2. And the gap between them and City is only one point. Klopp was lucky to lose only van Dijk and Fabinho, who are to return soon.

Injuries and suspensions

• Tottenham: Romero, Gil, Son, Moura, Royal, Skipp, Scarlett;
• Liverpool: van Dijk, Fabinho, Elliott, Jones, Adrian, Phillips.
