Stunning Spurs outmuscle error-strewn Liverpool
Harry Kane scores twice as Tottenham prevail in-front of the Premier League's biggest ever attendance.
- Tottenham claimed first win in 10 games over Liverpool.
- Harry Kane opens the scoring after just four minutes.
- Son Heung-Min doubles the lead from Kane's pass.
- Mohamed Salah pulls one back for Liverpool.
- Dele Alli volleys home in first half stoppage time.
- Kane nets his second after Mignolet flaps at free-kick.
Full time: Tottenham 4-1 Liverpool
A game which has highlights the qualities and problems within these two sides.
For Tottenham, they have the vitality and verve to beat any side on the planet and in Harry Kane the most deadly forward in the Premier League, certainly.
But Liverpool face a familiar tale of defensive woe and have conceded four goals when it could have been many, many more.
The inquest over this Liverpool display has very much begun and the focus is once again on the back-line, which including Simon Mignolet has been central to Tottenham's success this afternoon.
For me, the lowest common denominator is Jurgen Klopp who has either brought these players, kept faith in them or tactically set them up in the wrong way. Either way, the much-heralded German coach needs to be central to any criticism of this Liverpool display.
GOAL! Tottenham 4-1 Liverpool (Harry Kane)
Simon Mignolet is the latest man from the Liverpool backline to hang their head in shame. The Belgian flaps at Eriksen's free-kick and though Firmino clears off the line when the loose ball falls to Vertonghen, Kane is on hand to fire home from the rebound.
Half time: Tottenham 3-1 Liverpool
Thrilling half of Premier League football. Tottenham cut Liverpool apart in the opening 12 minutes and scored twice through Kane and Son but the visitors are not out of this one yet.
Mohamed Salah gave the Reds hope but Dele Alli's goal on the stroke of half time may have taken this game away from the visitors. Cracking 45 minutes and hopefully there is more to come.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool (Harry Kane)
Spurs hit the front with their first attack and it is another mess for Liverpool at the back. Lovren is inexplicably trying to pay offside from a throw in and it allows Kane to break in behind. He turns past the onrushing Mignolet and keeps his composure to find the empty net.
For who is today's game bigger?
Tottenham have ambitions to win the title and having claimed their first Premier League win at Wembley they will hope their struggles under the arch are over.
Liverpool have showed on regular occasions they can keep pace with the big six - they have won nine out of 21 during Klopp's reign, the most of any side - but today is another big test of their fragile back-four.
Full time from Goodison Park and Arsenal have thrashed Everton to leave Ronald Koeman on the brink on Merseyside. Go here to catch up with each of the seven goals in the early kick-off.
Jurgen Klopp updates on Georginio Wijnaldum's knee injury which rules him out of today's game.
Gini got a knock on his knee yesterday. It's nothing serious but very painful," said Klopp. "We couldn't do it overnight. It's not a big thing but the time was too short from yesterday to today, so he's not even involved in the squad.
Liverpool make one change from the draw with Manchester United, as Georginio Wijnaldum is kept out with a knee problem as James Milner starts.
Tottenham make two changes from the draw at Real Madrid. Dele Alli returns after serving his European suspension, while Son Heung-Min replaces Moussa Sissoko.
These two sides have scored over 50 times already this season so surely we should have a goal-fest on our hands this afternoon? Liverpool plundered seven in mid-week, while Tottenham have the most potent striker in the Premier League in Harry Kane in their artillery. Spurs had the best defence in the top flight last term, but the Reds of course have had a heap of issues at the back.
Team news will be with us at around 3pm, but how might both sides line-up?
Tottenham have Danny Rose fit again and Erik Lamela ready to return but Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama are both missing.
Liverpool are without Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana. Andrew Robertson could be recalled while Joe Gomez is expected to revert to right-back. Simon Mignolet will replace Loris Karius.
Before we begin to build-up to this game a word that we are into the second half of our early game, Everton vs Arsenal. Follow the second 45 minutes here, after what was an intriguing first period.
One of the games of any Premier League season sees Tottenham host Liverpool at Wembley. Both sides have the capacity to thrill this afternoon and we could be in store for a classic.
Spurs went to Real Madrid in mid-week and went toe-to-toe with with 12-time European champions, coming away with a 1-1 draw. Liverpool meanwhile had an altogether different experience in the Champions League, beating Maribor 7-0 in the biggest away win recorded by a British side in the competitions's history.
All the team news and build-up ahead of the 4pm kick-off on the way.
