Liverpool welcome Tottenham to Anfield for a mouthwatering clash in the Premier League this afternoon.

The Reds have seen their hopes of winning multiple trophies in Jurgen Klopp's last season dashed in recent weeks, and they have to beat Spurs to re-launch their title challenge.

Liverpool's problems all seemed to come bubbling to the surface last week when Klopp and Mohamed Salah were involved in a heated exchange on the sidelines.
