Liverpool are scoring and stringing good results in the Premier League. In 2013 so far they played 8 games out of which they won 4, tied 2 and lost 2. Their goal balance is 22-8.

Tottenham are doing even better. Out of eight games in 2013 they won 5 and tied 3. Their goal balance is 13-7.

It is a little surprising to see Liverpool as big favourites in the upcoming match considering that Tottenham have not lost in their last 12 Premier League matches in addition to eliminating Lyon in the Europa League round of 32 and dominating Inter Milan in the first leg of round of 16.

Tottenham beat Liverpool earlier in the season at home with the score of 2-1.

Lets see how this plays out.
