"Moussa Dembele is back in the midfield thanks to injuries, and he will have a point to overripe. And it'll be exciting to see Dele Alli in the flesh, after his exploits with England. 

"I hope too that Erik Lamela will start gaining confidence from being regularly in the team. 

"But if Harry Kane gets an injury, there isn't really anyone to come in who's anything like the same quality, But overall it has been a very positive start to the season for Spurs, and this will b a very tough afternoon for Liverpool."

Erik Dier is suspended so Dele Alli and Mousa Dembele pair up at the heart of the Tottenham midfield. Danny Rose returns from a hand injury at left-back.

Starting XI: Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Alli, Dembele; Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela, Kane

Subs: Vorm, Davies, Trippier, Wimmer, Clinton, Townsend, Winks

"A miracle-worker is needed for that squad. There are patches all across it that needs strengthening, and there have been recruitment problems at that club for such a long time.

"Under Rodgers I'm not sure there was anyone at Liverpool who could spot a good player - let's hope Klopp can."

"Liverpool's creative players could thrive under Klopp. His Dortmund side were attacking, had flair and scored goals. 

"What is fascinating for me is what formation he will use - he could leave the team as it has been, playing three at the back with two wide midfielders.

"This Liverpool squad is full of flair, but the problems are at the back. The keeper is not good enough and the defenders are too erratic. It's a cruial area he will need to address, not the Reds' quality in the final third."

Having watched his Liverpool players warm up from the centre-circle, Jurgen Klopp has now turned his back on them and is studying the Spurs warm-up just as intently.

Here it is then, Jurgen Klopp's much-anticipated first line-up as Liverpool boss, and it contains one big surprise.

We knew Danny Ings and Christian Benteke were injured, but fellow striker Daniel Sturridge also fails to make the Reds squad after tweaking his knee in a collision in training yesterday, which is why Divock Origi leads their attack at White Hart Lane.

Adam Lallana also comes into the team for his first league start since mid-August. There are three teenagers on the bench.

Starting XI: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Can, Lucas, Milner, Lallana, Coutinho, Origi

Subs: Bogdan, Toure, Allen, Ibe, Sinclair, Teixeira, Randall

Speaking of predictions, this is what Lawro thinks will happen today...

"Spurs are the better team at the moment and will think they have a good chance of ruining Klopp's party. I see it being a draw, but the really interesting thing for me is how Klopp will set his team up."

So, how do you think Klopp will get on?

The BBC Sport Predictor game pits fans of Premier League clubs against each other - and both Tottenham and Liverpool are in the bottom three of our table as things stand.

Help your club move up the league by predicting the result of this match - and the rest of the weekend's fixtures - right here.

Some sad news concerning a legendary Merseyside manager today, with the death of former Everton boss Howard Kendall at the age of 69. 

Kendall was Toffees manager when they won two league titles, the FA Cup and the European Cup-Winners Cup in the 1980s, dominating English football along with Liverpool in what was known as the "Merseyside Monopoly".

The tributes have been pouring in for Kendall from across the world of football and you can read them here.

Not many of his predecessors as Reds boss have managed it...

And while Klopp is the name on everyone's lips today, it is Pochettino who has taken his team to near the top of the Premier League form table.

Spurs smashed Manchester City 4-1 in their last home game, and have not been beaten in the league since the opening day of the season, when they were a bit unlucky to lose 1-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford through Kyle Walker's own-goal.

Harry Kane is scoring again too. Add it all up and it safe to say a very tough test awaits Klopp as he kicks off his Reds reign.

Hang on a minute, though, because Liverpool are not the only team in action in north London today with a manager who gets his team playing a high-tempo, high-pressing style...

Yep Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino also believes that the best time to win the ball back is just after you have lost it, although he says his approach is not quite the same.

"It is a different style of pressing," he said. "If you analyse Dortmund, it's not similar to how we played at Southampton. Our pressing was to the opposing goalkeeper, whereas Dortmund played with a medium block."

Yes, after all the hype and amid huge levels of excitement in the red-half of Merseyside and football hipsters everywhere, a 48-year-old self-proclaimed 'normal' guy from Stuttgart, Germany, will bring his brand of 'gegenpressing', external (also known as heavy metal, external) football to the Premier League for the first time this afternoon when his side step out at White Hart Lane.

Are you ready?

Now then, I am guessing some of you are reading this because you have heard that Liverpool have got a new manager, and that he is about to take charge of his first game. 

Some of you may even have tracked his plane, external when he flew to Merseyside to accept the job, but I assume you all know who he is... ?
