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.

    Ha! I must have really upset the fantasy football gods. Deliberating my captain choice for days. All options had merit and I bounced between them all. Finally decided that Hazard against the poor defence of Villa was as good a shout as any.

    Might as well start picking names out of a hat.

    Mahrez on the bench again!!!! Just more evidence towards the fact that at least 5 prem managers have gone completely senile! He scored a brace against Southampton last season! Claudio is an old bat!

    1. Ghost Ship
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      claudio will tinker - nice guy but his ego demands it

      1. Too Mane Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I can understand tinkering. Its part of being a successful manager. But benching the most in-form player in the league twice in a row is borderline madness.

        1. Ghost Ship
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          like i said, his tinkering doesn't necessarily come from a healthy place.

        Origi looked like awful wearing lead boots today. Ibe, Lallana, the defense were bright spots.

    Can't imagine how many people took a hit and have both Mahrez and Hazard AND played all out attack.

    Funny old season.
