Tottenham midfielder Oliver Skipp says they must start on the front foot at Liverpool today.

Spurs go to Anfield on the back of a 2-2 draw with Manchester United and the sacking of caretaker manager Cristian Stellini.

"Every game you have to start strongly in the Premier League, so this one will be no different," said Skipp.

"I hope we can use that second half to build on but we know it is a new game, with new challenges so we have to be on it from the first minute. We know what Anfield is like.

"For sure (we can win) because of that second half and performances throughout the season. We've beat Man City, beat Chelsea, there are performances that show we are definitely capable.

"It is just about finding that team spirit, the togetherness that we showed in the second half especially and to go to difficult places and know moments will be difficult but to push and dig in."

Ryan Mason has replaced Stellini and Skipp continued: "Ryan has been brilliant in just reinforcing and trying to get belief back into the players.

"He has been brilliant in terms of small details he has changed. Obviously he hasn't had as long as he'd want (in training) but there are things that helped everyone.

"At half-time everyone was aware of what we needed to do and also a few tactical things we changed, perhaps stopping their midfield getting easy possession because at times they had easy possession.

"A few tactical changes really helped us push up the pitch and stop worrying about what was behind us.

"I think we started the second half really strongly, so that gave everyone the belief but it would have been easy after the (Newcastle) performance for people to hide but I don't think anyone did.

"It was really about showing everyone that we have got a team that is capable of fighting."
