Liverpool vs Tottenham simulated to get a score prediction for Premier League clash

Three points now seem vital for Tottenham later today when they take on Liverpool in the Premier League.

Spurs fell to a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea in midweek as their horrible Stamford Bridge record continued, and not only was it the Lilywhites' third defeat in a row, but it handed Spurs another big blow to their hopes of Champions League football next season. If Spurs lose against Liverpool and Aston Villa beat Brighton, Ange Postecolgou's side won't be able to finish in the top four.

The last meeting between Spurs and Liverpool ended in a 2-1 win for the Lilywhites, with VAR incorrectly ruling out a Liverpool goal in a dramatic clash. History isn't on Spurs' side for the clash, with Spurs winless at Anfield since 2011.

So can Spurs pick up a much-needed three points on Sunday? Let's take a look...

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that Liverpool could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Quansah, Robertson; Endo, Mac Allister, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz.

We predict that Spurs could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Emerson; Bissouma, Bentancur; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Richarlison.

It was a strong start from Spurs at Anfield, with the Liverpool backline looking shaky in the opening stages and allowing Postecoglou's side a few sights of goal. Alisson made two big saves in the opening 15 minutes to keep the score level, and after the early pressure from the visitors, Jurgen Klopp's side started to find their groove.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was instrumental for Liverpool, and the defender was robbed of a few assists
