Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says he's putting together a tactical plan for Liverpool.
The two teams meet on Sunday.
Conte said, "We are trying to have a good idea. I hope not the same idea as Liverpool. For sure we know that in this moment Liverpool are in really good form. I have watched the game against Villarreal and it was incredible the calm that the team showed in a difficult situation. They were 2-0 down and the atmosphere was very difficult. They are one of the best teams in the world with Manchester City.
"We've prepared for the game very well. We need to be very good without the ball, to be good defensively, but if we want to win, we have to be very good with the ball. I said this to my players. We need to play a good game, not to be scared of the pressure.
"I think when you play against these important teams it's important that there is the great desire to everybody to find a way to stop these top teams. This reason against Man City it happened twice and against Liverpool we drew at home.
"For sure when you play against a team that likes to play face to face, maybe for the characteristics of my players it's better rather than against a team we don't find much space to exploit. Also against Leicester the same, a team that play face to face. Attack and attack."
Conte also stated: "Jurgen Klopp is doing a great job with this team, especially for an English team to arrive at the end of the season to stay in the race for all the competitions you compete in, I think that it's incredible because you can see Liverpool's players. They run a lot and they don't have many injuries. They're doing a fantastic job. Their enthusiasm is 200% and you don't feel fatigue at this point.
"We need to go there and play our game. We are in the race for a place in the Champions League and we have to find a way to get points in every game. We are playing against one of the best teams in the world away. We prepare like usual."
