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.

    Dier would be an outstanding pick if it weren't for his yellow cards. In his new holding midfield role he seems to pick one up every other game.

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

      yep. toby and rose the entries into the spurs defence

      1. skeyrd
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Davies injured? Rose seems a rotation risk

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

          Surely Rose has the nod over Davies?

          1. skeyrd
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah i think he is a better player fo sho but not sure what pochettino is thinking.i thhink rose might have been injured earlier in the season? That might explain it

    2. Bertzeiner-m

      Excellent player, him and Ali have a great future for Spurs.

      1. Bertzeiner-m
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        That is until Real swoop in. 🙁

    3. BootlegRascal
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I've still had reservations about the Spurs defence this season as I'm a fan - scarred from previous years.

      Really seems like it's a tight at the back now though. 8 undefeated & just 7 conceded so far.

  2. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    C'mon Pelle (c)!!!!!!!!!

  3. TK74
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    No idea why anyone would ever have Kane on his team. He is just absolutely awful

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Really needed to do better, especially that one he kicked right at Migs

    2. United come on!
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      His stats is still good but you have to watch the matches to know how bad he is. Completely lost his confidence.

  4. Kryten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Sakho has lovely baps

  5. boombaba
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Kol at £6.2
    I bought Kol for £5.8

    If he drops tonight does it affect my sell price?

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yes - your sell price will drop from 6.0 to 5.9

      1. boombaba
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks pal.

  6. Gianfranco Zola
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Hazard off the bench to score the winner.

    1. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      1pt more likely

      1. Gianfranco Zola
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Genius

    2. Gianfranco Zola
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      at 3-3, with a Costa and Richards hatricks

  7. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Doubt its gonna happen but would be fantastic if chelsea lost too

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Today*

  8. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Micah Richards!!

  9. Random Name
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Perfect time to say it

    When i hyped up Hazard before the season - it was my intentions all along to trick people into buying him

    😉

  10. Gr3g
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Are you all ready for Costa hattrick?!?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yes!

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      No.

    3. TK74
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      More likely guzan gets a hat trick. Costa is trash.

    4. United come on!
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      A red card is coming.

  11. EL NINO99
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Mane starts!! Wat a relief!!

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      My captain

  12. Dempsey
    • 12 Years

    Yes skrtel, lovely Start!

  13. The Machine
    • 12 Years

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Such a farce

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

        the pitch was a farce

    2. Bucket_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Complete joke, cricket can be so frustrating sometimes. This one should have had a result after all that..

  15. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I think this is the best defense for Chelsea atm. Baba and Azpi on natural RB/LB positions, Terry, Zouma partnership and Ramires protecting them. CS upcoming

    1. TK74
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      LOL. I love some good comedy before the reckoning

    2. Hakchak
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, fingers crossed for teh CS

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

      Terry really?

    4. Egg Fried Reus
      • 11 Years

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years

      Benched

      1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 13 Years

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years

      1. Dempsey
        • 12 Years

  18. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    Unlucky for England

  19. You Must Be Jokin Ere

  24. Hakchak
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      All of a sudden Dawson pick doesn't look so clever

  25. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Chose Hazard over Payet on WC. Hope it's not too brutal.

  26. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Get Hazard they said. AVL are shite they said.

    Now I just hope he and Mahrez will stay at the bench so I can get Moreno's CS (2nd sub).

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      That wont happen, sorry.

  27. internal error
