Tottenham Hotspur
After the failure of the season before last, the club was unable to keep Kane. But even without Harra, who left for Bavaria, the new coach of Spurs, Postecoglou, led the fight for a return to the Champions League and stopped short of success, missing the top-ranked Aston Villa. It seemed that there would be further progress in the new draw, especially since they did not spare money on the new striker, Solanke. But the London club, which initially did not stand out for its stability, by the end of the fall frankly swam under the burden of an epidemic of injuries. They didn’t even win against Rangers. But then, after getting together, they managed to defeat Southampton in the last round of the Premier League. This week, in the League Cup with Manchester United, they managed to finish the shootout with their victory and reach the semi-finals.

Liverpool
At the end of the last season, the team returned to the top 3 of the Premier League and won the League Cup. But those were the last successes of Klopp’s Misty Albion – he warned in advance that he would leave. The end of such an era is often replaced by a protracted decline, and everyone wondered how the carefully selected successor for Jürgen – Arne Slott – would cope with such a challenge. But he turned out to be another extremely successful decision of the Reds breeders – operating in almost the same cage that the great German had, he achieved an incredible start. In the Champions League, the English gave a one hundred percent performance, in the Premier League, having managed to lose at home to Nottingham Forest, they practically did not lose points in the rest of the matches – until the final rounds, where there were consecutive draws with Newcastle and Fulham. And they even beat Southampton in the League Cup minimally, 2:1.
Statistics of personal meetings
In the last 14 head-to-head matches, Spurs have won only once with plenty of defeats, including in the Champions League final. But this victory was last season.
Forecast
Bookmakers do not believe in the owners. They are unstable, and the leader must beat such an opponent even away (coefficient – 1.68).
