BTTS has landed in each of the last two head to head meetings between the sides, with United coming away 2-1 winners at Anfield earlier in the season.

Manchester United have seen BTTS in four of their last five matches across all competitions, and have only kept six clean sheets all season (17%). Only Wolves and West Ham (4) have kept fewer shutouts.

Liverpool have seen BTTS in each of their last two games, winning both matches against Crystal Palace and Everton.

Liverpool have seen 51 goals across their 17 away matches in the Premier League this season (3.0 per game).

The most recent head to head meeting between the sides produced exactly three goals as Alkmaar ran out 2-1 winners over Twente in a game that saw 54 match shots.

Twente are just one point away from Nijmegen, who sit in a Champions League qualification spot - they’ve seen 3+ goals in three of their last five matches across all competitions, and have seen 44 goals across their 15 away games in the Eredivisie (2.93 per game).

Alkmaar have seen 55 goals across their 15 home games in the Eredivisie (3.66 per game), and have seen 3+ goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions

This game sits between a Europa League semi-final for Freiburg, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last five matches across all competitions.

Freiburg have only kept six clean sheets across their 31 matches in the Bundesliga this season (19%), and have conceded 20 goals across their 15 home games this season.

Wolfsburg are six points from safety in the Bundesliga and simply must get at least a point to keep their survival hopes alive.

Wolfsburg have scored 20 goals across their 15 away games in the Bundesliga this season, picking up more points on the road than they have at home this season (15-10).

Le Havre have won just one of their 15 away games in Ligue 1 this season, scoring just nine goals across these games which is the joint lowest output on the road in Ligue 1.

Lille ran out 1-0 winners over Le Havre when the sides met earlier in the season, and have won four of their last five matches ahead of this clash.

Lille have only lost three of their 15 home games in Ligue 1 this season, notably scoring 23 goals across these games which is a scoring power that Le Havre are unlikely to be able to match.

Le Havre have failed to win a game in Ligue 1 since 15th February, losing five of their nine games since this victory.

Only Ollie Watkins (11) has scored more goals in the Premier League for Aston Villa this season than Morgan Rogers (9). He’s bettered his goal tally from last season by one goal, while also improving his general shot output - making him a more reliable player to back to find the target than he was last season.

Rogers had four shots during the week as Villa fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest, seeing one of these attempts find the target. He’s taken 79 shots across his 34 starts in the Premier League this campaign (2.36 per 90), seeing 31 of these efforts find the target (0.93 per 90). 

Rogers also has an impressive record against Tottenham, having scored against the Lilywhites in the most recent head-to-head meeting between the sides from two shots on target, as Villa came away 2-1 winners over Tottenham in the FA Cup. He also scored in the league meeting between these sides in North London earlier in the season, and has scored against Tottenham in four of his last five games against the relegation-threatened side.

Richarlison came off the bench in Tottenham’s 1-0 win over Wolves last time out, managing two shots - one of which led to Palhinha’s scrappy goal as De Zerbi’s side secured a crucial three points to keep their chances of survival in the Premier League alive.

Dominic Solanke went down injured in that game and is unlikely to feature again this season, leaving Richarlison as Tottenham’s main forward for the run-in. Richarlison has been in a relegation battle before, ensuring Everton’s safety a few seasons ago, so he’s got the perfect experience to lead this Tottenham side to safety following a disastrous campaign in which the Lilywhites have burned through two coaches.

Richarlison has netted nine goals across his 16 starts in the Premier League this season, achieving this tally from 50 shots overall (2.79 per 90), seeing 22 of these attempts find the target (1.23 per 90).

Tottenham have one of the most aggressive midfield set-ups in the Premier League. Without even looking at the underlying numbers, the likes of Gallagher, Bentancur, Palhinha, and Bissouma are all incredibly combative and will get sucked into challenges against the most fouled side in the Premier League over the last two seasons.

Those players also hint at where Tottenham have fallen short in their recruitment over recent seasons, partially explaining why they find themselves in their current predicament. All of those players are better at breaking up play than they are when in possession. They are all pretty good when out of possession, but Tottenham desperately lack a profile that can progress the play through the thirds.

Tielemans has won 33 fouls across his 18 starts in the Premier League this season, working out to an average of 1.88 fouls won per 90. I’d expect this to rise given the aggressive nature of Tottenham’s midfield set-up - Tottenham committed 17 fouls in the most recent head-to-head clash between the sides in the FA Cup, and committed 11 fouls when the sides met in the Premier League earlier on in the campaign.

Tottenham find themselves battling at the bottom of the table to survive in the Premier League, a position that naturally creates a bit of frustration, but even more so when the players don’t believe that they should be in this position.

This entitlement is one of the main reasons why Tottenham find themselves at risk of the drop; many of the players have long been checked out of the club, and this has resulted in Tottenham having a pretty healthy card and foul record in the Premier League.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side have collected 85 yellow cards in the Premier League this season (2.5 per game) - more than any other side in the division. Only Chelsea have picked up more red cards (7) than Tottenham (4) in the Premier League this season, too, so this is clearly a side that is struggling to manage the emotions of a relegation battle.

Tottenham have picked up 2+ cards in each of their last six head-to-head meetings against Aston Villa across all competitions, most recently committing 17 fouls and picking up three yellow cards in an FA Cup defeat at home to Unai Emery’s side.
