Liverpool vs. Spurs: Head-to-head record and past meetings before Premier League clash

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 189

Draws: 45

Five of the first six meetings between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in the early 20th century were 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 94 of the 189 competitive meetings between the two clubs down the years while only suffering 50 defeats, and another 45 scraps have ended in a share of the spoils.

One of those 50 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 English football calendar.

Another six goals flew into Anfield nets in April 2025 too, but five of those went to the Reds, who thumped Tottenham 5-1 to officially win their 20th English top-flight title.

In their first encounter in the 2025-26 season, Liverpool also came out on top in London, winning their December battle 2-1 thanks to goals from Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike.

The match was no doubt overshadowed by Spurs' lack of discipline, with both Xavi Simons and Cristian Romero needlessly receiving red cards, though Tottenham were at least competitive with 10 and nine men on the field.

In the second fixture of that season in March 2026, Dominik Szoboszlai had given the Reds a first-half lead thanks to another goal from a free kick, only for Richarlison to net a deserved equaliser in the 90th minute.

It was Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs who Liverpool conquered in the 2019 Champions League final too, where Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi broke Lilywhites hearts, and there have only been three wins for Spurs in the last 28 top-flight head-to-heads.

A 1-0 success in the first leg of the 2024-25 EFL Cup semi-finals represents one of those rare victories, but Liverpool avenged that narrow loss with a 4-0 battering in the return fixture, before going down to Newcastle United in the final.

Current Reds hotshot Mohamed Salah leads the way in terms of individual goals in this head-to-head with 16 efforts, five more than Spurs legend Jimmy Greaves and Liverpool icon Ian Rush and managed in this bout.
