Before last season's 5-0 drubbing at White Hart Lane, Liverpool had lost five straight matches there. The Reds are 6-5-11 in 22 Premiership seasons at Tottenham. Seven of those losses finished with a 1-2 scoreline. Liverpool have scored 30 goals and allowed 32 at Spurs over that period.
In their 20 matches away from Anfield on match day 3, LFC is 6-5-9. They are 1-1-0 at White Hart Lane during that time, a 0-0 draw in 2005-06 and 3-1 win in 1995-96. In the latter match, John Barnes scored a brace to give him 100 career goals for Liverpool, while Robbie Fowler's lone goal gave him 50.
Liverpool is 6-8-5 at the previous season 6th place finisher, though that opponent has never been Spurs.
The previous season 2nd place finisher is 9-6-6 at the previous season 6th place side, though the former has only lost once in the previous 8 meetings when Liverpool beat Chelsea 4-1 in 2011-12. Liverpool is 1-0-1 as the second place side in this situation, beating Villa 1-0 in 2009-10 and losing to Chelsea 2-1 in 02-03.
Everything points to a draw at the moment, but there's still plenty of research to be done.
