Jurgen Klopp’s description of his side’s trip to Tottenham as “massive” is partly a reflection of the chasmic 10-point lead Spurs will have over Liverpool at the start of the game.
“I didn’t count the points distance between us and them but we cannot be picky with opponents and games and where we want to get points,” says Klopp.
“We have to go for it, definitely. But it’s difficult: we all know Tottenham are a side that are well organised, defending on an extremely high level and [use] counter-attacking [as] a massive thing now.”

Tottenham vs Liverpool lineups
Defender Cristian Romero and forward Richarlison are both out with calf injuries, Spurs manager Antonio Conte said this week.
Son Heung-min needs surgery on a facial fracture the South Korea hotshot sustained in the win at Marseille in the Champions League on Tuesday. Midfielders Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski have trained after suffering knocks, as has Lucas Moura (tendon) — but Conte does not seem entirely confident that any of the trio will be involved.
Tottenham predicted lineup (3-4-2-1): Lloris (GK) — Dier, Lenglet, Davies — Emerson, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Perisic — Kulusevski, Lucas — Kane
Attackers Diogo Jota (calf) and Luis Diaz (knee) and midfielder Arthur (thigh) are long-term absentees for Liverpool. Defender Joel Matip is out with a calf injury, while Naby Keita is not yet ready to return.
Klopp says Jordan Henderson is fit to play but James Milner will be unavailable under concussion protocols after suffering a head injury during the 2-0 win over Napoli at Anfield in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Liverpool predicted lineup (4-3-3): Alisson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson — Fabinho, Thiago, Henderson — Firmino, Nunez, Salah
Tottenham vs Liverpool betting odds, prediction
Liverpool have lost one of their past 21 meetings with Spurs — a 4-1 loss back in Octobwe 2017. Prior to that, their last defeat to Tottenham came in 2012 at the old White Hart Lane in which Gareth Bale scored at both ends in a 2-1 win for the hosts.
The form books contrast the odds: Tottenham have won five of their six home games in the Premier League this season, while Liverpool are seeking an away victory at the sixth attempt, having lost three times on the road.
Prediction: With those records in mind, a resolute 1-0 win for Tottenham against this patchy Liverpool side could be on the cards. The absence of Son, though, could be telling, robbing Spurs of by far their most important creative presence and top scorer besides Harry Kane.
