‘I’m telling you’: Ian Wright predicts who will win this weekend – Liverpool or Tottenham
The high-flying Spurs of Ange Postecoglou will play the Reds this weekend in north London, and Ian Wright predicts that Liverpool will defeat them.
The commentator predicted that one team will win on Saturday night when speaking on Stick to Football, with Wright picking Liverpool to earn the three points.
When asked to make a prediction for Liverpool’s trip to Tottenham, the legendary Arsenal player responded, “Someone is winning that, I’m telling you. I predict Liverpool to win this match.
Both Liverpool and Tottenham have had strong starts to the current Premier League season, and their matchup this weekend in north London may be a turning point for the league.
With Tottenham also attempting to push Manchester City for the Premier League crown, Jurgen Klopp’s team is currently in second place and potentially in the title battle.
And with the Reds hoping to pick up a big road win, this weekend may shed a lot of light on how Liverpool and Tottenham’s seasons develop.
Liverpool can show their title credentials with Tottenham win
This weekend’s game against Tottenham away will undoubtedly be the hardest Liverpool has played all year, and a victory in north London will be a significant indicator of their title chances.
Few people would have predicted Liverpool to compete with City for the Premier League, but based on the standings, the Reds are more than holding their own.
The Reds are more than capable of competing against the Manchester giants in the league if they can win on Saturday, and a victory will solidify Liverpool’s position in the conversation.
