We wrap up our home schedule for 2025 with a festive Premier League fixture against Liverpool at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday (5.30pm UK).
When it comes to our final home league outing in a calendar year, we hold an impressive recent record with only three defeats in our previous 20 such matches dating back to December, 2005 (W12, D5).
Starting 20 years ago with a 2-0 win over Newcastle United at White Hart Lane on New Year's Eve, a 1-0 loss to this weekend's opponents Liverpool came the following year before we put together an 11-game unbeaten run from 29 December, 2007 (6-4 win over Reading) to Boxing Day, 2017 (a 5-2 success over Southampton at Wembley Stadium).
After losing to Wolverhampton Wanderers (3-1, Wembley) and Leicester City (2-0, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium) either side of beating Brighton in 2019, we are currently undefeated in our last four home finales in the top flight having seen off Crystal Palace (3-0), Leeds United (4-3) and Bournemouth (3-1) and drawing with Wolves (2-2) last year.
Whilst Liverpool certainly hold the upper hand in this league fixture, the last meeting in N17 did see us clinch a 1-0 victory in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg thanks to Lucas Bergvall's first goal in a Spurs shirt on that evening in early January.
We head into Saturday's encounter looking to bounce back from a disappointing showing at Nottingham Forest last time out and are seeking a December clean sweep at home following successes over Brentford (2-0) and Slavia Prague (3-0) this month.
Reigning champions Liverpool picked up where they left off by winning their opening five games this term, but Arne Slot's side have since won three of their last 11 (D2, L6) and just one of their last six away from Anfield in the division (D1, L4).
Here are some other headline stats, courtesy of Opta, ahead of our final home game in 2025...
We have won seven of our last nine Premier League games kicking off at 5.30pm on a Saturday (L2), a run which included a 2-1 win over Liverpool in September, 2023.
This is the top scoring fixture in Premier League history (206 goals). The last three league matches between us have seen 21 goals (seven per game), while there have been at least three goals in 14 of the last 16 Premier League meetings.
We have won just two of the last 25 Premier League games against Liverpool (D6 L17), picking up home wins in October, 2017 (4-1) and September, 2023 (2-1).
Liverpool have won just one of their last five Premier League games kicking off in this time slot on a Saturday (D2 L2).
The Reds have won just one of their last six away Premier League games (D1 L4), with that win coming at West Ham last month.
Among ever-present teams in the last two Premier League seasons, only Bournemouth (16) have conceded two or more goals in more away games than Liverpool (15).
Meanwhile, Liverpool have lost five of their last six league games in London, though their five-game losing streak in the capital was ended with that 2-0 win at West Ham.
Liverpool have won their final away league game of the year in eight of the last 11 years (D2 L1), with their only defeat in this time coming at Leicester at the end of 2021.
Richarlison has been involved in seven Premier League goals against Liverpool (four goals, three assists), more than he has against any other opponent.
Hugo Ekitiké has scored four goals in his last two Premier League games, netting braces against Leeds and Brighton. Only Luis Suárez has netted multiple goals in three consecutive Premier League games for Liverpool (four in December, 2013).
