#2 Better defensive record
It is famously said that attack wins you matches, whereas defense wins you titles. Liverpool have one of the best back four in the world. The presence of Virgil Van Dijk gives them an edge over any side of the world and it is the balance in the Reds’ backline that makes them such a tricky side to play against. Premier League outfits have had a tough time dealing with Liverpool's defense.
Liverpool's defensive prowess is further enhanced by the presence of Alisson Becker. The Brazilian goalkeeper has been a dominant figure on the field and many call him as the best goalkeeper in the Premier League.
While Spurs too have an efficient defensive unit, the startling difference between both sides' defensive structure is pretty evident. Pochettino will have to devise something special to get past Liverpool's backline!
