Liverpool are in the midst of a poor run of form in the Premier League, having suffered their second consecutive defeat. Anfield was left in disbelief last weekend, when Leeds United claimed a 2-1 win over the Reds, snapping a 29-game unbeaten run in the EPL (22 wins and seven draws). This situation has begun to create a barrage of criticism of Jürgen Klopp's coaching.
In a sea of doubts, The Pool will play Tottenham Hotspur in London next matchday 15 of the tournament and also a difficult test, as they will face the Italian coach Antonio Conte with scores to settle, since the last clash last May left a one-goal draw, and with it the rupture of the Red's dream of winning the Premier League.

Unbelievable, Liverpool boss Klopp in doubt after defeat to Leeds
Moreover, the two clubs are in a totally different momentum, with a 10-point gap between them. Klopp knows he is facing the biggest challenge of his life, to climb back up the table to play in next year's Champions League; seven out of 18 points he has taken in the last month, wasting the momentum he gained from beating Manchester City in previous weeks with consecutive defeats to the EPL's bottom side.
Reports from England have the spotlight on Liverpool FC, focusing on the chances they have given up with ease. Teams are playing the Red's at an impressive rate, and through the middle, on the flanks or from set-pieces the team has failed to improve. According to the Daily Mail the Merseyside side struggled two years ago, but today, the problem is different as they have struggled with the gaps in the pitch as a result of injuries.
Before facing Spurs, Liverpool must close out their UEFA Champions League campaign by playing the final game of the group stage against SSC Napoli, who are unbeaten so far and looking to spring a surprise at Anfield. For Klopp's boys to take top spot, they will need to beat the Italians by more than four goals, hoping for one of those magical nights that only Anfield can deliver.
