Anfield will witness a battle between two opposite styles of play tonight. Jurgen Klopp will field his heavy metal football, and Jose Mourinho will hit the mute button. Liverpool will keep the ball and try to be creative with it. Tottenham will build a wall at the back and look to counter.
Some may say that is negative of Mourinho, but it is also practical. It’s what’s taken them to the top of the Premier League, and saw them beat Manchester City 2-0 with 34 per cent possession. Both goals in that game (see graphics below) tell us what Tottenham could do to Liverpool tonight.
