U There aren't too many things to get excited about on a Tuesday, but a full schedule of mid week Premier League football is certainly one of them. Without a doubt the game of the evening sees Liverpool host Spurs at Anfield, here are some free football betting tips.
Liverpool v Tottenham Predictions
After all the hype over Steven Gerrard's final Merseyside derby, Saturday evening served up a truly dire spectacle for anyone unfortunate enough to see it. For Liverpool – easily the most adventurous team on the night – it was very much a case of two points dropped in one of the most open races for a Champions League place in years.
Nevertheless, the draw did extend The Reds' unbeaten run in the league to eight games and yielded yet another clean sheet. After all the fuss and furore over their leaky defence in the early stages of the season, Liverpool have now recorded four straight clean sheets in the Premier League.
Similarly to their hosts, Spurs are also in fine fettle with three straight wins in the league and now look like serious contenders for a top four finish. The outstanding form of striker Harry Kane continues to turn heads, with his brace over Arsenal in the North London derby likely to fuel more confidence and belief thought the Spurs team.
Early prices for Tuesday's clash have Liverpool as 10/11 favourites. Spurs can be backed at odds as long as 7/2, with the draw available at 29/10. Considering the proximity between the two sides in the table and the form of Mauricio Pochettino's men, these odds are surprisingly one-sided.
However, based on their recent record, it is understandable to see why Liverpool are such firm favourites on Tuesday evening. Brendon Rodgers' men have won the last three games between the two sides at an aggregate of 11-0 – with the most recent being the 3-0 drubbing at White Hart Lane earlier in the season.
Furthermore, Spurs have only won once in twenty attempts at Anfield in recent years and only managed one shot on target last time they met in the league. Whichever way you look at it, Tottenham have wretched record against Liverpool.
Moving into the goalscoring markets, and despite Liverpool's excellent defensive record in recent weeks, I expect there to be a few goals on Tuesday evening. The Reds have the 3rd highest league ratio for both teams scoring in their home matches, Spurs have the 3rd highest ratio for both teams scoring in their away matches.
Finally we are looking to the two teams’ star strikers for our final betting tip, if Sturridge starts this is a bet to be on. The odds for Harry Kane and Daniel Sturridge to score anytime as a double are 7/1.
