Antonio Conte spoke of the “desire” his side will need to find a way to stop Liverpool this weekend. Tottenham will travel to Anfield in need of a victory to continue their pursuit of a Champions League place, while Liverpool are fighting to secure a historic quadruple.
The Reds are unbeaten at home in the Premier League this season and haven’t dropped points since a 2-2 draw with Brighton back in October. It’ll therefore be a tall order for Conte’s side to stop Jurgen Klopp’s men.
Interestingly though, the Italian coach believes that Liverpool’s attacking approach may well play into Tottenham’s hands. “It is very difficult to play against Liverpool – they are in really good form,” Conte said. “I watched [the Champions League semi-final against] Villarreal and the composure, the calm was incredible. The team is strong, it is one of the best in the world. At the same time it will be a good game for us.
