Jurgen Klopp is hopeful that Liverpool's cup exit to Manchester United could turn out to be good preparation for their crunch Premier League clash with Tottenham.
The Reds went down 3-2 to their bitter rivals in round four of the FA Cup on Sunday to make it just one win in their last seven games in all competitions.
Liverpool switch focus back to league matters on Thursday as they seek a solution to their goalscoring issues, the defending champions having failed to net in four top-flight games running.
And despite being knocked out of the cup at the weekend, Klopp believes there are positives to take into the trip to Tottenham.
