Neither Liverpool nor Tottenham have started the season roaring but a victory today for either side could see them top the table, for a few hours at least. Jurgen Klopp has made two changes from the side that featured in the League Cup win over Burton Albion midweek.

Klopp is keeping Daniel Sturridge in reserve while James Milner continues at left back after replacing Alberto Moreno for the defeat to Burnley. https://twitter.com/LFC/status/769482188593192961 Injury to goalkeeper Hugo Lloris aside, Tottenham are at full strength. Harry Kane captains the side and leads the line while Erik Lamela will be hoping to give him as much attacking support as possible after a bright start to the season. https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/769481983164616704 Tottenham have the likes of Ben Davies and new Dutch striker Vincent Janssen on their subs' bench, as they look to build on last week's narrow victory over Crystal Palace Read more
