All eyes will be on Jurgen Klopp as he commandeers his Liverpool troops for the first time at White Hart Lane. Tottenham are in the midst of a seven-match unbeaten streak, with their only defeat of the season arriving through a Kyle Walker own goal. The Reds, meanwhile, have tasted victory just once in the last six Gameweeks.

Spurs enter this head-to-head with a spring in their step, having put Manchester City to the sword in their last home tie. Only the Sky Blues (32) and Arsenal (28) have fashioned more accurate attempts (27) on their own turf than the Lilywhites, suggesting that Liverpool could struggle to earn a shut-out in Klopp’s debut encounter. Spurs have fared well at the other end, too, considering that only three sides have conceded fewer goals (three) at home.

Only West Bromwich Albion have carved out fewer big chances (two) on their travels than Liverpool (three) this term, underlining their paucity of creativity away from Anfield. Nonetheless, the Merseysiders rank joint-third over the past two Gameweeks for shots on target (16) and joint-fourth for shots inside the box (25). On the flip side, only Newcastle United (13) and Leicester City (11) have seen their rearguard breached on more occasions than Liverpool (10) since Gameweek 4.

      Stop rubbing it in 🙁

        Sorry.

  4. Somalion
    • 16 Years

    Kane needed to do better there

  5. Licky
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Milner still on the pitch. Coutinho off... 🙄

  6. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Coutinho. Was very very quiet this week. Consistency seems to be his worst enemy.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Always his issue.

  7. Arteta

    Allen = wnb Pirlo

    Is Mahrez benched again? There must be something else going on here... He's played to well to be benched twice, even for Tinkerman

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      played two games in africa in internationals and arrived back late.

      Id assume he will play next week.

      1. GAMBIT
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Makes sense... I'll probably hold for one more week

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      His defensive contribution was non-existent against Arsenal. So he got dropped. Without him, they won a match. Why would a manager change a winning team?

      1. boombaba
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        managers change winnings teams all the time. thats football

      2. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        That's like saying since Man City won without silva, he shouldn't be put back into the team.

        1. GAMBIT
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          I was just going to say something to this effect, I just feel your best players should play

  9. Nickofoz

    Dembele on 3 BAPS :O

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years

      Like a Boss

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Deserved

    3. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      best player if the game so...

      1. BRONALDINHO
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        it's funny because usually defenders who've done nothing usually take the bonus in such games and not players like Dembele or Can who actually did play well

  10. Bertzeiner-m
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Townsend v tired legs.

  11. tm245

    Ah yes, pages of Hazard statistics to tide me over until he doesn't start.

          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          When he scores off the bench I'll feel like an idiot.

  12. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Good thing I didn't play AOA chip with Mahrez on my bench.

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I've done it. He could come on and bag one.

      Let's hope for early Saints goal

  13. ZTF
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Are you guys defo selling Mahrez?

    1. Bertzeiner-m
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I have bigger problems.

    2. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Kolarov first to get sold. Then will think about Mahrez

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely not

  14. boombaba
    • 13 Years

    Klopp even worse than BR

    Atleast BR team scored a goal before they drew games !

    1. GunsnRoses
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      In my ML 1 guy Costa rest all Pelle . Does it help?

      1. skeyrd
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Sounds like a good microcosm for the general game. Lots of pelles, sanchezs and kdb captains im guessing. Less pelle overall probably but he is very popular here

  16. GunsnRoses

    Moreno CS on bench to start WC journey.
    Not auspicious as of now!

  17. SweeSwee

    Klopp already working his magic. Drawing against a vastly superior side is a great result for Liverpool.

    Mahrez had an injury niggle, no?

  21. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Did the Tinkerman explain why Mahrez was benched today?

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Said he's been killing his FPL rank as his main rivals own him

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      He joined the squad later than the rest I think, not sure though
      I hope that's the reason so he'll play again next week, might sell him for Barkley otherwise

  22. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Thank god I bought mane and capped him instead of hazard. Now it's down to u mane.

  23. Francescoli

    Hope Alderweireld does enough to get some BAPs

  26. shirtless

    • 14 Years

    Gomez>Dier? Might as well do it now, as Gomez will drop again, and Dier's had a rest...

    Only 2 other fit defenders so has to be done this week..

  27. Bøwstring The Carp

    Mignolet, Can and Sakho have been amazing today for Liverpool
