Klopp is Tottenham's daddy, Conte reacts badly, would get Liverpool into this trouble

In an intriguing Sunday in the Premier League, which began with the Chelsea-Arsenal derby, the day will end on a high note with another high-voltage clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. In London, the two members of the Big Six will face each other in a duel that promises not only for their own histories, but also for their realities in the standings, in which Spurs boast their presence on the podium, while the Reds are dealing with an irregularity that, almost, does not deprive them of the Top 10.

After two defeats in a row, Antonio Conte's side returned to winning ways last term, and with difficulty. Against Bournemouth, they had to fight until the end to win 3-2, with Uruguayan Rodrigo Bentancur scoring the only goal of the game. The three points kept them in third place in the league with 26 points, just six points off the top, as well as earning them a reprieve from the UEFA Champions League.

In midweek, they booked their place in the last 16, although the downside was a nasty injury to Heung-Min Son in the visit to Olympique de Marseille. On the continental stage, the Merseyside side also arrived with a good feeling after their 2-0 win over Napoli at Anfield. However, this result was not enough for them to finish top of the group ahead of Monday's draw.

However, the concern for Jürgen Klopp's side is the Premiership. Since the start of the season, they have shown an unfamiliar run of form, which has kept them far from the top of the table. Suffice it to say that, after 12 matches, he shared equally the number of wins, draws and defeats (4). This was compounded by recent defeats against Nottingham Forest and, last time out, Leeds at home.
