All eyes on tomorrow
Even Stevens
The fourth draw between Klopp and Conte this evening maintains their equal record.
Klopp ‘happy with performance’
A positive, yet ever so slightly bitter Klopp discussed his side’s performance after the game:
I’m really happy with the performance and proud of the mentality we showed against an incredibly good opponent with a game plan… It’s incredibly difficult to play against an opponent with world class players and a world class manager when they have a week to prepare and we play every three days.
Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool boss
A thorn in Liverpool’s side
Son has scored in both fixtures against Liverpool this season, snatching victory from Klopp’s side on both occasions.
If it wasn’t for him, Liverpool would be four points clear at the top!

So, Liverpool drop points this evening. But Manchester City are still yet to play. They are in action against Newcastle tomorrow. Can they extend their lead at the top?
Meanwhile, Tottenham get themselves to within a point of Arsenal. They play Leeds tomorrow afternoon. That battle looks like it could all come down to the North London derby next Thursday.
Liverpool blink first
The fans applaud a brilliant game as Klopp walks on to the pitch to shake hands with all the players. The Reds will taste disappointment as they blink first in this title race. But Tottenham defended brilliantly.
