Luis Diaz Poised for Century as Liverpool Prepare for Spurs Clash

Diaz Closing in on Premier League Milestone

Sunday’s clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield could mark a significant career moment for Luis Diaz, who is set to make his 100th Premier League appearance for Liverpool. Signed from Porto in January 2022, the Colombian has evolved from an electric arrival to a regular fixture in the Reds’ attacking line.

Should he feature, Diaz will become the 60th player to reach the century mark for Liverpool in Premier League history. With 27 league goals to his name, Diaz currently ranks as the fourth-highest scoring Colombian in Premier League history, trailing only Juan Pablo Angel, Hamilton Ricard and Hugo Rodallega.

Anfield Remains Fortress for Spurs Visits

Liverpool’s record against Spurs at home is dominant. Since a 2-0 loss in May 2011, the Reds are unbeaten in 13 consecutive home games against the North London side, winning most with an aggressive, pressing style that has been the hallmark of their recent resurgence. as reported by LFC.

That run will be tested again, but the numbers favour the hosts: Tottenham have lost 10 of their last 12 Premier League games against teams that started the day top of the table.

Goals Galore and Familiar Foes

Liverpool have scored in 29 straight Premier League games, the second-longest streak in a single campaign behind Arsenal’s 38-game run in 2001-02. Much of that has been down to consistent attacking threats like Mohamed Salah, who has 15 career goals against Spurs, including 11 in the league.

Diaz, too, enjoys facing Spurs—he’s netted four goals against them, a tally only bettered by his record against Bournemouth (five).

Our View – Anfield Index Analysis

There’s something deeply satisfying about seeing Luis Diaz hit 100 appearances. In an era where players often come and go, Diaz has grafted, adapted and delivered. He may not grab headlines like Salah or create fanfare like new signings, but he’s quietly become essential to Liverpool’s forward play, cutting in, pressing hard, and contributing key goals.

With Arne Slot now overseeing the next chapter, Diaz feels like a player built for the Slot system—direct, disciplined, and dangerous in transition. Spurs at home is a fixture steeped in recent dominance, and if history holds, it’s another opportunity for Diaz to leave his mark.

But this game is about more than milestones. It’s a test of mentality. Liverpool have already matched last season’s win tally (24), and victory would equal the points total (82). In the Slot era’s early days, that speaks volumes about continuity and progress.

Expect Diaz to shine. Expect Salah to strike. And expect Anfield to roar for three more crucial points and the Title with it.
