Richarlison could have a huge impact when Tottenham Hotspur take on Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

After signing from Everton for £60million in 2022, the 28-year-old has only scored 23 league goals in over three seasons, and it’s safe to say that the move hasn’t completely worked out.

Despite finding the back of the net nine times in all competitions this campaign, he hasn’t performed to the standard required.

He still hasn’t started a Premier League game under Igor Tudor, but his promising performance in the Atletico Madrid defeat means he could be named in the team at Anfield.

With Tottenham heading to Liverpool in desperate need of a win, they’ll definitely need the Brazilian to continue his impressive record against the Reds.

Richarlison’s record vs Liverpool is excellent news for Tottenham

In the reverse fixture this season, the striker scored Tottenham’s only goal as they fell to a 2-1 defeat in N17.

Richarlison has been involved in more Premier League goals against Liverpool than any other opponent (eight), including five in five games with Spurs.

As an Everton player, he registered three goal involvements in nine Merseyside derbies, and this fixture clearly brings out the best in him.

According to Sofascore, Richarlison has registered 5.23 xG in the top flight this season, which clearly shows that he’s been overperforming in front of goal.

In addition to this, he could reach a personal milestone at Anfield.

His next goal or assist will be his 100th in the Premier League (72 goals, 27 assists currently), with only two Brazilians reaching that milestone previously (Roberto Firmino with 132, Gabriel Jesus with 118).

Richarlison might play very well on Sunday, but this could be the last time the Brazil international features in Spurs versus Liverpool.

Richarlison’s Tottenham exit is on the cards, and it’s important to note that his performances off the ball can be horrific.

His goals paper over the cracks that show he is simply not good enough to be counted on for Tottenham.

In the Premier League this season, Richarlison has registered a pass accuracy of 63.1 per cent, while only recording a dribble success rate of 46.7 per cent.

Spurs will rebuild their entire squad in the summer, and the 28-year-old could definitely be one of the casualties.

He has constantly been linked with leaving Tottenham, and even if the Lilywhites avoid relegation, his spell in N17 will likely come to an end.

If that is the case, then he can prove his worth to the fans in the last 10 games of the season, starting with another fine performance against Liverpool.
