Liverpool vs. Tottenham – 5th May Match Prediction

Liverpool is determined to conclude Jurgen Klopp’s reign on a triumphant note. Despite their recent setback in the Premier League title race, the focus now shifts to ensuring Klopp’s illustrious tenure at Anfield ends on a high note. With only one more home game remaining under Klopp’s stewardship after Sunday’s clash against Tottenham, the priority is to ensure his farewell doesn’t lack luster.

While Liverpool grapples with uncertainties, such as Virgil van Dijk’s injury, there’s intrigue surrounding Klopp’s potential selection decisions, particularly regarding Mohamed Salah. Though Klopp has asserted that the touchline altercation with Salah is resolved, whether Salah features prominently remains to be seen. Conor Bradley’s return boosts Liverpool’s options, but they still contend with the absence of Diogo Jota, while Stefan Bajcetic is likely to feature. Joel Matip, Ben Doak, and Thiago Alcantara remain sidelined due to injury.

On the other hand, Tottenham faces their own challenges, with Timo Werner, Destiny Udogie, and Ben Davies ruled out for the season, along with Fraser Forster, Manor Solomon, and Ryan Sessegnon. Furthermore, James Maddison, dropped in their recent defeat to Chelsea, could be reinstated in the starting lineup.
