Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says that his team need to be "strong" when they take on Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has urged his players to match Tottenham Hotspur's strength when they go head to head at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

The Reds have had a mixed bag of results so far in the new Premier League season, having beaten Arsenal in a seven-goal thriller and losing 2-0 to Burnley.

Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham team have not suffered defeat yet as they have recorded one draw and one win, scoring two goals in the process.

Klopp has been impressed by Spurs' new signings Victor Wanyama and Vincent Janssen, but is confident that his team can cause an upset in North London.

"The whole situation on the pitch will be different," Klopp told reporters in this morning's press conference. "They are a pressing team, a high-pressure team, so we need to know about this. They don't give away a lot of spaces but there are spaces, of course.

"They need to play against us and that's the thing, so I'm not too interested in where they develop but, of course, we know they are strong - that's the only thing we need to know. We can be strong too and should show this at 12.30 on Saturday."

Liverpool and Tottenham played out a goalless draw and a 1-1 draw in their league meetings last season.
