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.

    The Queen of Belgium once congratulated Origi on his World Cup winning strike against Russia...
    Except she was speaking to Lukaku.
    Oops.

    True story.

    Whatever happens this week, I have to sell Gomez, as I only have 2 starters for next week at the back. Dier seems favourite to me. He'll be fresh and well rested, and only 0.6m on the upgrade...

    Harsh YC for Milner

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

      Deserved one for his earlier challenges.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        2 wrong decision make 1 right?

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

          In this case, yes.

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            😀

    Kane fail

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

    Kane = heskey

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

      Kane < heskey

  7. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Kane would've scored that last season

  8. PSEBJ27
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Last season Harry Kane would've scored that

  9. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    How did that not go in 😯

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

    should have buried that.

  11. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Kane has regressed

  12. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 5 months ago

    So Klopp isn't a magician?

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

      he's doing pretty well with the cards he's been dealt, to be fair.

  13. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Lucky Liverpool

  14. Milner4eva
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku would have buried that

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

    Ibe on for Milolner please, he's playing ineffectively on the right side, not tracking enough.

    1. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Calm down

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

        ... but he's so slow and on a yellow!!! 😉

        1. Milner4eva
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Milner is decent mate, best chances / min creation in the league last season and most chances created of all england players in the qualifying campaign

  16. thedalmeny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Awful from Kans

  17. red forever
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Biggest flop of the season. Harry Kane?

    1. thedalmeny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      So far definitely, seems to have lost all confidence in taking a shot.

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      After 30 goals last season and 1 this year yeah

    3. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      i think someone's hypnotized him into shooting DIRECTLY at the keeper

    4. Abel Xavier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Fine margins

  18. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Terrible finish from Kane

  19. Numb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Are we thinking that Kane just had a fairly long hot streak last season then?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Honestly yes

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      He'll come good

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      nope, he is just having a fairly long bad streak atm

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

    Kane overrated anyone?

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

      all of my yes

    2. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Not last season

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      nope

    4. drughi
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      no, second season is the hardest one

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

    The more this game goes on, the more I'm convinced that Dele Alli is a good choice for the 5th mid position going forward

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      yeah, thinking the same..

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Yep but a player that young with Mason / Bentelab etc injured he will be rotated down the line

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

        true he is a risk. but the way he is playing, it's his to lose.

  22. Van Klinkert Delarosa
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Disgusted by Origi's performance so far.

    He is not even remotely interested.

    1. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I'm sure he's perfectly interested - just not good enough to show it on the pitch

    2. The Left Duke #3
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      He is so slow to react for a striker. Very annoyin

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

    Clinton looking like the sterling of last season

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

      Or the one before

  24. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Clinton guy not bad..

  25. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    This Clinton guy has been terrible. Should have passed it there instead of blasting it.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Decent effort though

    2. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      pass to Kane who is not doing well himself?

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

        Don't think you should base whether you pass it or not on whether your striker has scored already or not...

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          yeah..but a taking shot was not bad decision..

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

            It was. There were two players open to his right

    3. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Seriously erratic. Not a bad effort though.

  26. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Suddenly Clinton is the best player on the pitch

  27. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Skrtel is rubbish

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      😀

  28. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    That Clinton shot was like one of those old 99p lightweight balls. Moving all over the place.

  29. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Skrtel is absolute pants

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

      Nope

  30. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Such a shame Gomez is injured. Skrtel is a real liability

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Gomez can play CB?

      1. Milner4eva
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        that's his position

      2. DLL18
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        He is a CB.

      3. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Thats his natural position

      4. dcarlito
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        He is a CB
