Captain Jordan Henderson believes Liverpool’s belief has been restored ahead of Sunday’s crunch clash with top-four rivals Tottenham at Anfield.

The Reds were rocked by a shock league defeat to Swansea before being dumped out of the FA Cup by West Brom last weekend.

However, they hit back with a commanding 3-0 win over Huddersfield Town on Tuesday night and the skipper insists spirits are high as they prepare to take on Spurs.

Liverpool have a score to settle against Mauricio Pochettino’s men having been hammered 4-1 when the clubs last met at Wembley back in October.

“We’ve got a big game on Sunday against a very good side,” Henderson said.

“They’ve got fantastic players and it will be a big test, but one I think we are ready for.

“We need to make sure that we put in performances like we did at Huddersfield on a regular basis. It will be tough but we should be full of confidence going into that game.

“We’re really excited to see what we can do over these last few months of the season. We need to keep improving.”

Henderson was highly praised by Jurgen Klopp after shining on his return to the line up against Huddersfield. It was the England midfielder’s first start since he limped off with a hamstring injury against Arsenal before Christmas.

“I’ve been out for a little while so it was nice to be back out on the pitch,” he added.

“The results and performances over the previous two games were something we have been disappointed with. It was a good game for us to show we can put it right and I thought we did that.

“It was a good performance. I thought we started well. Being patient on the ball was probably the main thing we needed to do and I thought we did that brilliantly.

“We kept the ball well, scored the first goal and kept doing that to get the second one. Then second half, we just tried to kill the game off.

“Clean sheets are important for us so to get one away from home was very pleasing. We need to continue that mentality. We’re a great set of lads and the togetherness is really good.”
