LIVERPOOL will aim to keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield on Saturday night.
Jurgen Klopp's side are breathing down the neck's of the reigning champions and sit just one point behind them with four rounds of fixtures left to play.
The Reds ought to be buoyed heading into this clash after securing their place in this season's Champions League final following a 3-2 victory over Villarreal in midweek, on a night where my anytime goalscorer bet landed.
The Merseysiders will now turn their attention back to league matters where they should expect a stern test of their title credentials against Tottenham.
After failing to win each of their previous two matches, Antonio Conte's crew got their Premier League top-four push back on track with a 3-1 win over Leicester last weekend, in a game which brought up both of my bets.
That success will have undoubtedly lifted spirits in the Spurs camp but they will know just how difficult their task will be under the Anfield lights on Saturday night.
Outright Betting
Liverpool, who have triumphed in each of their last 12 Premier League home games, enter this contest as short-priced 6/13 (SBK) favourites.
Tottenham Hotspur battled to a well-deserved 2-2 draw in December's reverse fixture but the same outcome here is an unfancied 41/10 (SBK) while a Spurs win is also deemed unlikely at 3/15 (SBK).
Betting Angles
I fancied Liverpool to come out on top in a match that featured four goals or fewer against Villarreal in midweek and I make no apology for including the same selection at Anfield on Saturday night.
Although Jurgen Klopp's side survived a brief scare in Spain on Tuesday night, they have generally been getting the job done in an efficient manner in their quest towards what would be an unprecedented quadruple.
The Reds have claimed top honours in 25 of their 34 Premier League tussles this term, with a lofty 21 of those triumphs producing less than five match strikes, a sample that includes 13 of Liverpool's 14 league wins at home this season so far.
Whilst this fixture has the feel of a potential banana skin in Liverpool's pursuit of Premier League glory, Tottenham are still very much a work in progress under Antonio Conte.
The Lilywhites have lost away at Manchester United and twice at Chelsea under the Italian's tutorship, not to mention the capital club have conceded at least one goal in 15 of their last 18 matches across all competitions, which doesn't bode well ahead of trip to the most potent attacking the division
With all things considered, as well as the fact that the aforementioned wager has proven profitable in 19 of Liverpool's last 22 victories, merging a home win and under five match goals holds obvious appeal at 10/11 with Bet 365.
After being hailed as “a world class striker” by Jurgen Klopp in midweek, I'll also head to the anytime goalscorer market and have a nibble on the 6/4 available with UniBet for Sadio Mané to get on the scoresheet.
The Senegalese forward, who has switched from his customary left-wing role to spearhead Liverpool’s frontline in recent weeks, has notched at least once in six of his last eight appearances for the Reds and he looks worth taking on to repeat the trick against a Tottenham rearguard that is not exactly renowned for being reliable.
