Jurgen Klopp may have inadvertently offered his approval to Chelsea appointing Mauricio Pochetinno by heaping praise on the Argentine's former club.
Liverpool are enjoying a mini-revival after a somewhat underwhelming season, with Joel Matip's winner against West Ham on Wednesday night securing them a third straight win. The run has kept their faint Champions League hopes alive, ahead of another crucial game with Spurs on Sunday.
Tottenham lie fifth, just one place and two points above Klopp's men, amid a period of turmoil in North London. Under Ryan Mason, their second interim boss of the season, they battled back from 2-0 down to draw with Man United on Thursday, finally showing the intensity that was sadly missing in their harrowing defeat at Newcastle last Sunday.
