Our prediction for this Premier League match:
All eyes will be on Tottenham Hotspur Stadion when Spurs and Liverpool go head to head in the Premier League derby. Tottenham came from behind to beat Bournemouth at Vitally Stadium on Matchday 14, with the team keeping their title hopes alive, but they do not want to stop now. Antonio Conte’s men are high on spirits ahead of Sunday’s derby, and they are surely capable of matching the out-of-sorts Reds on home soil.
Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski should be the only absentees in the home team. Jurgen Klopp’s men, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Leeds United, and given their shaky defence, we predict that Harry Kane and Co. will pick up all three points from Sunday’s showdown. All Diogo Jota, Naby Keita, Joel Matip, and pacey winger Luis Diaz are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Heung-min Son):
Over the years Son Heung-Min has established himself as one of the best Asian footballers. Son is a Tottenham Hotspur first-team regular and he played a very important role in Mauro Pochettino’s team in the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign, scoring 12 goals, while making 37 appearances in the process.
The South Korean footballer, who is well known for his speed and a very powerful shot, was born in Chuncheo on 8 July 1992 and he began his youth career at FC Seoul. In 2008 he moved to Hamburger SV, but he made his senior debut for the Bundesliga club two years later. In 2013 he signed a deal with fellow German side Bayer Leverkusen and he scored 21 goals in 62 appearances in the Bundesliga for the BayArena outfit.
In 2015 he signed a five-year contract with Spurs for a fee of £22 million. Son Heung-min made his South Korea debut in a friendly against Syria in 2010.
Highlighted Team (Liverpool):
Founded back in 1892, Liverpool are one of England’s and world’s most famous clubs. The Reds hold a high-profile rivalry with Everton and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other in the Merseyside derby.
The Reds welcome their opponents at Anfield and it has to be noted that they have already won 18 first division trophies. Liverpool were on the verge of lifting the 2014/2015 Premier League trophy, but Steven Gerrard slipped in the decider against Chelsea and left the Reds without a title.
Liverpool won one of their last Champions League trophy's in 2005, with the team coming from three goals behind to beat Milan in a historic clash in Istanbul. The Reds have clinched six European Cups and it is no surprise they are regarded as one of the greatest European clubs.
The likes of Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler, Paul Ince, Ian Rush, Graeme Souness, Sami Hyypia and Luis Suarez are some of the most notable footballers to have represented the club over the years. The club’s anthem is You’ll Never Walk Alone and their shirt colour is red.
