Liverpool defender Dan Agger feels they can prove their title credentials against Tottenham today.
Liverpool's vice-captain sees the clash at White Hart Lane as an encounter which his team should welcome in their ongoing battle at the division's summit.
Asked if the Reds can send a message to their Premier League rivals this weekend, Agger said: "I'm not sure we have to show anybody. We have to show ourselves that we are serious.
"We want to win this - we want to be at the top of the table. We definitely have to win a game like this if that's where we want to be.
"Tottenham are obviously a great team, they have signed some good players. It's going to be a tough game, but we believe in ourselves and we know we can score goals. Now we just need to keep a clean sheet.
"We are attacking a lot this season and that's also why we're scoring a lot of goals. But we have to be better, we have to defend better and keep clean sheets, because that's one of the most important things in football."
