Meetings between these two clubs last season came at difficult times for each, though, with the exception of perhaps a month at the start of 2022/23 for Tottenham Hotspur and two months at the end of it for Liverpool, that doesn’t narrow matters down much.
The first came in November, where the Reds’ success in north London meant the dwindling months of Antonio Conte’s tenure were in the midst of a run of two wins in seven, and both of those somewhat fortunate victories earned in stoppage time. For Liverpool this would be a good win, but already the campaign had more than stuttered and, following the return from the World Cup, they’d embark on their most atrocious run of the season, Jurgen Klopp chopping and changing formations in search of a winning formula as they failed to win seven of ten.
