Mauricio Pochettino and Jurgen Klopp are two of the most intriguing managers in the league.

Ignore Conte, Guardiola or Mourinho, these two bosses know how they want their sides to set up and tend to execute it to perfection, with intelligent selections and brave decisions.

This weekend, two of the league's most entertaining sides face-off. One team, you would suggest, is further down the process of transition of the other. Spurs have gone past the inconsistency stage, have bought sensibly and are now looking to kick on towards silverware. Liverpool, on the other hand, are still battling against the up and downs of performances.

Jurgen Klopp takes time to instil his way of playing, get his players to the necessary level of fitness and mould the squad precisely how he needs it. Fans may become impatient, but there is only so much that can be changed from the doldrums of Brendan Rodgers' final year in a short period of time.

This game, for all of these reasons, is notoriously unpredictable. We've given predicting it a go, anyway...

Goal bonanza

Harry Kane

There will be a plethora of attacking talent on show at White Hart Lane for this one. Each side boasts are a frankly rude amount of attacking options, giving Klopp and Pochettino plenty of tactical flexibility in the final third. Liverpool possess terrifying pace, whilst Spurs are a finely-tuned unit, whoever they opt to start.

Janssen started with Kane playing just behind him last time out, giving Pochettino the luxury of introducing the supremely gifted Dele Alli from the bench.

Although Spurs have the defence to resist, Liverpool are almost nailed on to find the net. If you're a betting man, a flutter on both teams to score is a beauty for this cracker. There's little faith in Liverpool's defence, but their attack looks yet more fearsome after netting five in midweek.

Any combination of players could start in for these two sides, but one thing is for sure, there will be goals in this.

Lamela to dominate

Erik Lamela

Ragnar Klavan, James Milner or Alberto Moreno.

Jurgen Klopp isn't blessed with the greatest options at left-back, is he?

It's a much discussed issue for the Reds, the fans are constantly demanding a signing in this position, but it's not going to happen in time for this clash (if it does at all). The worry for Klopp is that Spurs' most improved player, Erik Lamela, will be working his magic on that flank.

The former AS Roma winger has already contributed five key passes in only two games and will be a significant creative force again. Liverpool's left-sided forward will have to track Kyle Walker's energetic bursts down the right, too, as the full-back overlaps to create more space on the inside-right for the Argentine.

Not so Dier

Eric Dier (2)

It was no mistake that Eric Dier was so very key for England this summer. Or before that, even.

The former Sporting Lisbon defender was transitioned into midfield by Pochettino last season and became the midfield lynch pin for the Lilywhites as a result. He reads the game exceptionally, can compete with anyone physically and does not risk losing the ball when in possession.

Dier, simply speaking, is one of the best in the league at what he does. He sweeps up and protects, he's exactly the sort of player that Liverpool are currently lacking in their midfield

Liverpool's third man runners can tear defences apart, but with Dier in the middle, Spurs should have no such worries.

His presence alone could well be the swing factor in this game.
