Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur clash in a Premier League meeting on Sunday, and Wayne Rooney backs Arne Slot’s side to wipe the floor with the Londoners.
The Reds’ league form in 2025/26 has been questionable, and they are currently on course to miss out on Champions League football next term.
But Tottenham are struggling under Igor Tudor, and Rooney now thinks Liverpool will score a staggering six goals this weekend.

Wayne Rooney backs Liverpool to score six against Tottenham
The former England international was a guest on the latest episode of Stick To Football.
Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Jill Scott were making predictions for one team, and when it came to Liverpool’s clash with Spurs, they suggested the Merseyside outfit would win 3-1, with Dominik Solanke named as the potential goalscorer for the Lilywhites.
Rooney and Gary Neville were then predicting the weekend’s scores on the opposite team.
Neville wanted to say that Liverpool will end up scoring four on Sunday, before Rooney then shared his opinion that they will actually find the back of the net six times.

If that were to happen, it would be the biggest win the Premier League champions have secured in the division all term.
They have scored four goals on two occasions in the league this season so far against Bournemouth (4-2) and Newcastle United (4-1).
But Liverpool have not scored more than five this term, achieving that feat just once against West Ham United (5-2) last month.
Opta names winners of Liverpool vs Tottenham
It’s easy to see why Liverpool, despite their inconsistent nature, are heavy favourites for the game.
Tottenham have already lost four games in a row under Tudor, conceding a staggering 14 goals in said matches.
Spurs also have the worst form of any team in the English top-flight at present, losing five on the spin.
Now, Opta’s supercomputer gives Liverpool a 65.1% chance of securing three points at the weekend, compared to just 16.1% for Spurs.
