Liverpool vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting Tips (15 September)

Liverpool host Tottenham at Anfield on Tuesday 15 September 2026 at 8pm BST in the England EFL Cup third round, after the tie was moved from Wednesday because of UEFA Champions League scheduling. The fixture brings Andrew Robertson back to Anfield following his summer move to Spurs, while the clubs renew a recent cup rivalry that Liverpool controlled 4-1 on aggregate in the 2024/25 semi-finals.

Andoni Iraola’s 2026/27 Liverpool arrive with strong momentum after a comeback 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid and Alexander Isak’s early double in a 0-2 victory at Ipswich, though the 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest showed there are still defensive lapses to tighten up. The home squad picture is built around Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Ronald Araújo, Jérémy Jacquet, Miloš Kerkez, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo, Bradley Barcola and Isak, with enough depth for Iraola to rotate without losing attacking structure.

Tottenham’s 2026/27 season has been more uneven: they were beaten in their opening league games, bounced back by crushing Charlton 5-1 with Sávio making an instant impact, then stopped the rot with a disciplined 0-0 at Nottingham Forest. Spurs’ key names include Sávio, Dominic Solanke, Mikey Moore, Pedro Porro, Sandro Tonali, Omar Marmoush and Robertson, but they still look like a side searching for a settled league rhythm away from home.

European 1X2 odds put Liverpool around 1.73, the draw near 3.90 and Tottenham close to 3.50, which reflects Liverpool’s home control and deeper bench. Our prediction is Liverpool 3 : 1: expect the Reds to dominate territory, force Spurs to defend their box for long spells, and eventually turn pressure into a multi-goal Anfield
