Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has issued a warning to his players that the north London team is still a dangerous opponent despite their beating.
Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 6-1 Premier League loss to Newcastle United which Klopp said caused him to believe his television was broken.
On Sunday, Liverpool will play home to opponents in European qualification Spurs, who have lost their past three games and were humiliated by third-place Newcastle last Sunday after giving up five goals in the first twenty minutes of the game.

“I came home, I switched the television on, it was 1-0. I had something else to do, wanted to watch the game a bit later, when I came back it was 5-0,” Klopp told reporters.
“I honestly thought something was wrong with the television screen, something like a joke or something like that.
“I had to watch it back later. Newcastle are obviously in a very good moment … so these kind of things can happen.”
With 54 points, Spurs are now in fifth place in the league rankings, but a victory at Anfield would move Liverpool up to seventh.
Even though Spurs have only triumphed once in their last 20 league meetings with Liverpool, Klopp acknowledged he was worried of the depth of skill in the Spurs lineup.
“I have no clue what happened at Tottenham but I see Harry Kane, I see Son Heung-min, I see (Dejan) Kulusevski, I see (Ivan) Perisic, Richarlison, (Pierre-Emile) Hojbjerg and so on and on and on,” Klopp said.
“I cannot think about Tottenham in any other way than I expect them to be really strong.
” You give them one ball, it could be the wrong one and they go. Harry Kane can score from pretty much everywhere.
“They have real quality and we have to make sure they cannot show it.”
