Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has confessed he is wary of a response from under-fire Tottenham Hotspur when the two sides meet on Sunday.
Spurs have endured a hugely frustrating start to the season, similar to Manchester United, who bounced back from their troubles with arguably their performance of the season to earn a 1-1 draw with Liverpool last time out.
Speaking ahead of the game (via the Daily Mail), Klopp admitted that he is wary of a similar response from Spurs, who will be looking at the game as a chance to prove themselves once again.

"Character is what makes you the person you are," Klopp explained. "He [Wijnaldum] doesn't really knock on my door but it's normal there are things he wouldn't like, that is normal.
"The perfect reaction was when I didn't start him against Barcelona at home and he came on and scored two goals. He used the anger or whatever.
"Afterwards I congratulated him and he replied: 'Yes, but that's because you didn't let me out.' I said: 'So, who is right now?!'
"Gini speaks on the pitch for the way he plays. It is just so obvious his importance. It is both directions, small spaces, big spaces, it is hard challenges, fine football, pretty much all of that.
