Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 184
Spurs wins: 49
Draws: 44
Liverpool wins: 91
Five of the first six meetings between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in the early 20th century may have been won by the Lilywhites, but the mammoths from Merseyside have since built up a dominant streak over their capital counterparts in this battle.
Indeed, the Reds have prevailed in 91 of the 184 competitive meetings between the two clubs down the years while only suffering 49 defeats, and another 44 scraps have ended in a share of the spoils.
However, one of those 49 losses for Liverpool came at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the 2023-24 season, albeit in highly infuriating circumstances, as Luis Diaz's goal was incorrectly disallowed by virtue of a "significant human error" before Joel Matip turned into his own net in added time.
Jurgen Klopp's crop avenged that cruel defeat with a 4-2 triumph at Anfield towards the end of the season, though, which preceded an engrossing 6-3 success for Arne Slot's team in December 2024, enhancing this fixture's reputation as one of the most exciting on the Emglish football calendar.
Liverpool and Spurs have met exclusively in the Premier League since Klopp's crop also conquered Mauricio Pochettino's team in the 2018-19 Champions League final, where Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi broke Lilywhites hearts, and there have only been two wins for Spurs in the last 24 top-flight head-to-heads.
Furthermore, Liverpool are on an 18-game scoring streak against the North London outfit in the Premier League since last being shut out in a goalless draw in October 2015, which was Klopp's inaugural match in the Reds hotseat.
That drab affair also marks the last time that Tottenham and Liverpool played out a 0-0 stalemate, and entertainment at both ends is usually a guarantee between these two sides, as the last nine meetings have seen both teams score.
Speaking of goals, current Reds hotshot Mohamed Salah leads the way in terms of individual goals in this head-to-head with 12 efforts, one more than Spurs legend Jimmy Greaves and Liverpool icon Ian Rush and managed in this bout.
