Redknapp made the dash from London's Southwark Crown Court, where he has been for the last few days facing two charges of cheating the public revenue, to City airport late this afternoon to catch a flight to Merseyside.
However, it is understood a technical problem with the plane meant it was unable to take off.
Arrangements were made to obtain a second aircraft but there were issues with scheduling a take-off slot which would have meant the Spurs boss would not have arrived in time for kick-off at Anfield.
Redknapp, who denies the court charges against him, therefore decided to stay in the south and watch the match on television.
For a time it appeared Monday night's game was in danger of being postponed, as thick fog enveloped Anfield just after 6pm.
However, with the teams already at the stadium and with just over an hour until kick-off, match officials assessed the conditions from the pitch and decided there was no reason not to continue as normal.
By that time fans had been allowed into the stadium and within 10 minutes the fog appeared to clear slightly.
