Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is wary of Tottenham's midfield quality ahead of today's game.

The German insists he is focused on ensuring his players can impose their own strengths upon Tottenham when the two teams meet.

Speaking at a press conference to preview the clash, he told reporters: "They are absolutely convinced about their way and their style of play. They didn't change too much and they have high individual quality.

"They can even leave [Dele] Alli out, that's a big difference from last year, with [Vincent] Janssen they have a really skilled striker. Harry [Kane] can play from a No.10 position too and did it well.

"[Victor] Wanyama and [Eric] Dier in the centre is a little bit different to Dier and [Mousa] Dembele. The rest [of the team] is very experienced and has played together one-and-a-half or two years nearly but they are still young so there's still space for development.

"That's what you need to know but at the end they need to play against us and this game can be completely different to the last two games we played.

"The whole situation on the pitch will be different. They are a pressing team, a high-pressure team, so we need to know about this. They don't give away a lot of spaces but there are spaces, of course.

"They need to play against us and that's the thing, so I'm not too interested in where they develop but, of course, we know they are strong, that's the only thing we need to know. We can be strong too and should show this at 12.30 on Saturday."
