Liverpool dropped their first points of the 2019-20 Premier League season last weekend when they were held to a 1-1 draw by arch-rivals Man United.
That draw means their lead at the top has once again been reduced to six points and next up they welcome Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Jurgen Klopp was furious after his team drew vs Man United last weekend but his worries might not be over just yet are itching to get themselves back in form and a win vs the league leaders will set the perfect tone for the rest of the season.
Spurs have a bit flat this season having already lost three matches in the league but a 5-0 win in the Champions League this week was hopefully enough to bring them back to their senses.
Beating Liverpool will obviously not be an easy job for Spurs the away side have most of their first-team players fit and available for selection meaning Pochettino does have the luxury to make a few tactical changes if he likes.
