Harry Kane warns Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool that Tottenham can outrun anyone in the league
Harry Kane insists Tottenham Hotspur are fully capable of outrunning every side in the Premier League – including Jurgen Klopp's newly inspired Liverpool side.
The high-octane football Klopp instilled in his Borussia Dortmund side saw him become one of Europe's most revered managers during his years in charge at the Bundesliga outfit, with Liverpool supporters eager to see a similar style adopted at Anfield following his appointment.
Klopp takes charge of his first game in the Premier League on 17 October when his side visit White Hart Lane, and while Kane expects the Merseyside club to play with "5% extra", he is confident his side's fitness will enable them to take the upper hand.
"Liverpool are going to have a new manager and they will be up for it," Kane said following England's 3-0 win over Lithuania, Reuters reported. "In the first couple of games [under a new manager] everybody tries to impress so they will probably have that little 5% extra than usual.
"We expect that. The Liverpool players at England could not wait to get back to start working under [Klopp]. We have out-run every team we have played and will be looking to do so again. That is a sign we are playing the manager's tactics right and we are fit enough to do it. So it is a case of doing it again on Saturday."
Tottenham have lost their last five games against Liverpool, conceding 18 goals in the process, but have started the season in steady fashion, having not lost a match since their opening day defeat to Manchester United.
"We are happy to stay under the radar and keep putting in good performances," said Kane. "We haven't lost in the league since the first game of the season. We've had a few draws where we should have won as well. But we are playing well and doing the right things. We have a fit young squad. It's very open. I think that's the standard of the Premier League. Anyone can beat anyone and that's been shown a lot this season."
