Klopp raged at Liverpool star, tension at Tottenham stadium

Strange game. Spurs dominant since the break but promising moves keep breaking down and home fans getting on their backs. Liverpool having their moments on the counter, Next goal is massive. Excellent 45mins from Klopp's men. Makes such a difference playing on the front foot from the start and taking control. Salah providing the finish to a great move before bagging his second after a blunder from Dier. Konate excellent. Half a job done.

Both had key absentees. Conte is keeping an eye on Son, who is one for his eye strain, but will miss Romero, Kulusevski and Richarlison. Klopp, meanwhile, has more absentees with injuries to Luis Diaz, Keita, Milner, Jota and Matip. A brace from the Egyptian starlet proved decisive in sealing victory for the Reds in London. Harry Kane's late strike gave Liverpool the suspense in the closing stages of the battle, but they still came away with a vital win.

One of the highlights of this weekend's international football menu was sure to take us on a journey to the prestigious Premier League. The reason was simple: Tottenham Hotspur were in action with the ambitious mission of chasing Arsenal and Manchester City.

Spurs would start with Lloris in goal, who played a key role in France's 2018 World Cup triumph in Russia. As for the three centre-backs, Dier, Lenglet (on loan from FC Barcelona) and Davies would be in action, leaving Emerson and Sessegnon on the flanks. Meanwhile, Bissouma, Bentancur and Höjbjerg would look to link up with Perisic and Kane to find the back of Alisson's goal.
