Tottenham Hotspur are set to take on Liverpool at Wembley later today.

Jurgen Klopp, Manager of Liverpool looks on during the Premier League match between Liverpool and Arsenal at Anfield on August 27, 2017 in Liverpool, England.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has raved about the quality of Tottenham Hotspur’s squad with his comments to the Telegraph.

Liverpool are set to take on Tottenham at Wembley today, and Klopp is aware of the challenge that his side well have to overcome.

Although Spurs have only won one Premier League match at Wembley so far this season, Mauricio Pochettino’s side have an enviable amount of quality in their team.

And the Liverpool boss admitted that he could see class in every area of Tottenham’s team, ahead of this afternoon’s encounter.

He said: “They are title contenders. They were last year. They were two years ago. Why shouldn’t they be this year? “So they have great quality. They don’t have to make many changes because they are at the best age.

“Spurs have Kane, Alli and Eriksen but with just three players you can do nothing. Absolutely nothing, He has Wanyama, Dembele in midfield and in the world of centre-halves it is quite difficult to find better than Vertonghen and Alderweireld and yet the still took the boy from Ajax [Davinson] Sanchez.

“They brought in Davies when Rose was injured. They had Trippier for the right when Walker walked away.

“Eriksen is for sure one of the best Premier League players and who is behind? Sisssoko – we know his quality – and Son doesn’t play all the time but always seems to decide games when he does.

“Dier can play centre-half or No 6. My God.”

Tottenham currently sit ahead of Liverpool in the Premier League table, with Pochettino’s side up in third place.

Spurs have won five of their opening eight top flight matches, with the North London side seemingly emerging as title contenders once again.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have looked frail at the back – and that has rather halted their progress.

The Reds are currently in eighth place in the Premier League standings, but could move up to fifth with a win at Wembley today.
