Liverpool hero Phil Thompson says Jurgen Klopp's team now face a test of their credentials in the coming weeks.

Liverpool are at Wembley today to face Tottenham.

Thompson said, "Because of what we've added, yes we are title contenders, but so are Tottenham and Chelsea. Whether we have the consistency is the big factor and we need to beat the teams we should beat while taking our share of scalps.

"We've got a big month ahead with Spurs, Chelsea and Manchester City, so there are some really big games in there coupled with the Champions League. We'll have a far better idea by the end of September.

"Liverpool's intensity dropped between the West Ham and Leicester games but we've been more reliable on the defence so haven't paid the price. It has been good but it hasn't been brilliant and we haven't blown teams away to the same degree as last season."
