Liverpool manager claims one Spurs player is a ‘threat’…Mourinho may not pick him
Jurgen Klopp has showered praise on a number of Tottenham Hotspur players ahead of the Premier League clash at Anfield on Wednesday. The Liverpool boss has hailed Spurs as a ‘proper football side’, and has praised the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min and Steven Bergwijn. Klopp feels that Jose Mourinho’s side are more than a strong counter-attacking team and that their style of football is quite similar to that of Liverpool. The German boss has also mentioned Gareth Bale as a potential threat for the Reds. Speaking at his Liverpool press conference, he said: “Gareth Bale I think he was ill the last game? If he’s fit again then he’s another threat. They’re doing well.” The Welshman unlikely to feature Bale made an emotional return to Spurs from Real Madrid on loan during t...
Predicted Liverpool starting XI: Klopp to make just one change; 23 y/o to start
Liverpool will face Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield in the top-of-the-table clash on Wednesday night, and you can watch this and other Premier League games live online. Kick-off: 20:00 BST Tv Info: The game will be shown live on Amazon Prime. Only goal difference sets two teams apart at the top of the table, and it promises to be a cracking contest. Liverpool are heading into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 1-1 draw against Fulham, and Spurs could punish them badly if they repeat a similar sort of performance. The Reds have won all of their home games this season, but they must nullify the threat of Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min – both have combined for 19 of Spurs’ 24 league goals so far. This is the team we expect Jurgen Klopp to select for the game: Goalkeeper: Al...
Report: Liverpool set for major injury boost later this month
Liverpool signed Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich with high expectations but the Spanish international is yet to make his mark at Anfield. The midfielder made his debut against Chelsea earlier on in the season and he produced an outstanding display against the Blues. Thiago was quite impressive against Everton as well but the Spaniard picked up a serious knee injury against the Toffees and he has been out of action ever since. According to Sunday World, Liverpool are hoping to have him back in the mix for first-team return towards the end of this month. Liverpool have been plagued with injuries this season and the return of Thiago Alcantara will come as a major boost to Jurgen Klopp and the fans. Liverpool have been lacking in craft and imagination at the centre of the park in the absen...
Report: Liverpool identify Portuguese as No.1 option to replace Wijnaldum
According to le10sport, Liverpool are keeping tabs on Lille midfielder Renato Sanches and will look to bring him to Anfield next month should Georginio Wijnaldum leave. The Dutchman has around six months left on his current deal with the Reds, and both parties haven’t been able to reach an agreement. Liverpool will lose Wijnaldum for nothing in the summer if he doesn’t sign a new deal, and the English Premier League defending champions could be forced to cash in on him when the January transfer window opens, with Barcelona keen to sign him. They aren’t ruling that option out from the look of things, and it appears that they have a contingency plan in place. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is aware of the quality of the Ligue 1 and he is a fan of Sanches as his style of play appeals to him v...

‘I don’t think it will quite be a case’: Lawrenson predicts the outcome of Liverpool vs Spurs
Liverpool will face Tottenham Hotspur in a top-of-the-table clash on Wednesday at Anfield and Mark Lawrenson has predicted a draw for this game. The Premier League champions are second in the league behind Spurs, tied on points and only separated by goal difference. Both the sides are heading into this fixture on the back of disappointing results over the weekend. Spurs managed a 1-1 draw in the London derby clash against Crystal Palace, while Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham at Craven Cottage. Liverpool were surprisingly poor in the first half against the Cottagers where they were completely outplayed by Scott Parker’s side. Lawrenson has suggested to BBC Sport that if the Reds repeat a similar sort of performance against Spurs, they are likely to be punished. The popular BBC p...
‘This is pathetic’: Some Liverpool fans react to what Klopp has just said ahead of Spurs clash
Liverpool will face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League clash on Wednesday night at Anfield, and it promises to be a cracker. Only goal difference sets two teams apart at the top of the table, and Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool boss has paid great respect to their opponent ahead of the match. Klopp has delivered the latest injury news ahead of the match, and there’s very little to get excited about for a Liverpool fan. The Reds boss has suggested that no one is coming back from injury, while the club physios are working really hard to keep Joel Matip fit for this clash. Matip picked up a back spasm during the game against Fulham and he was taken off in the first half at Craven Cottage. With Liverpool already depleted at the back, losing Matip at the back for such a crunch game would be a ...
French trio to start, 23y/o to retain place: Predicted Spurs XI vs Liverpool
Tottenham Hotspur travel to Anfield tomorrow to face joint-English Premier League leaders Liverpool, and manager Jose Mourinho will be keen to leave Merseyside with all three points. Spurs’ last victory at Anfield came in 2011 and they have won just once in their last 17 meetings with the Reds. Both teams have started the 2020-21 league campaign on an impressive note, winning seven games, drawing four games and losing one game apiece, and Spurs are only top of the table due to their better defensive record. Mourinho’s men have conceded 10 league goals – the least in the top-flight – and scored 24 goals, while Liverpool have shipped 18 goals and scored 27 goals – the most in the division. Liverpool’s attack and Spurs’ defence will both face their stiffest test yet tomorrow, and the game sho...
‘It’s worse than…’: Klopp reveals two Liverpool players have now suffered ‘similar’ injuries
Liverpool failed to move to the top of the Premier League table after just managing a 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday. The Reds have now picked up just one win away from home this season, with skipper Jordan Henderson admitting that injuries are disrupting their momentum. Jurgen Klopp’s side are already without the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Thiago Alcantara, James Milner, and Xherdan Shaqiri, and now more players have joined them in the treatment room. Diogo Jota – the summer signing from Wolverhampton Wanderers – could be out for two months. The Reds boss has confirmed that the Portuguese winger has picked up a knee injury, similar to the one sustained by left-back Kostas Tsimikas while playing against FC Midtjylland in the Champions League. Klopp...
Champions League Round of 16 Draw Announced
The fixtures for this season’s Champions League round of 16 have been announced. Borussia Monchengladbach will play their first-ever Champions League knockout game at home to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, while last season’s winners Bayern Munich will travel to Lazio. Atletico Madrid meet Chelsea in a repeat of the 2014 semi-final, which the Spanish side won. Jurgen Klopp will return to his home country to bring his Liverpool side to RB Leipzig, while it’s also a homecoming for Cristiano Ronaldo, who visits his native Portugal to face Porto. The most enticing tie of the round came when Barcelona were drawn against French giants Paris Saint-Germain. Last time the two sides met, Barcelona won 6-1 at the Camp Nou, completing an incredible comeback after losing the first leg 4-0. Rounding o...
Journalist claims what Man Utd have decided about signing £38m Liverpool target
Manchester United are no longer interested in signing Dayot Upamecano, according to reports from The Athletic. David Ornstein has claimed that United and Bayern Munich have recently emerged as the most ‘credible’ destination for the 22-year-old centre-back. However, United have surprisingly cooled their interest in the Frenchman who has a €42m (£38) million release clause that comes into effect once the season is over. It means any potential suitor would try to secure the signing of Upamecano next summer instead of signing him in the January transfer window. Central defence is one of the areas that United will be looking to bolster next summer. The likes of Eric Bailly, Marcos Rojo and Phil Jones have hardly made any impact under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and the club should be looki...
Sky Sports pundit names the Liverpool player who can do everything that Spurs star does and more
Former Liverpool midfielder, club legend turned popular football pundit, Graeme Souness feels that both Sadio Mane is better than Son Heung-min despite the latter’s red-hot form this season.

Both the teams are tied on the same points at the top and are only separated by goal difference.

With Manchester City struggling to maintain consistency this season, Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham have emerged as a likely contender to challenge L...
