After last weekend’s dramatic FA Cup victory over Everton, Liverpool return to their bread and butter this weekend against Tottenham in the Premier League .

Life has been good for the Reds in the Premier League so far this season. Jurgen Klopp’s side are current undefeated and hold a 13-point lead over second-place Leicester City, and a 14-point lead over reigning champions Manchester City heading into the second half of the campaign.

And while the Reds have already beat their opponents this season, they will come up against a much-changed Spurs outfit than the one they faced back in October this weekend.

Back then, Spurs were managed by Mauricio Pochettino, the man who guided the north London club to the Champions League final against the Reds last season.

But fast forward to now, and Spurs are under the stewardship of Jose Mourinho, Liverpool ’s old nemesis from his Chelsea and Manchester United days.

And although the Tottenham head coach has a reputation of serving up a surprise when setting his teams up for big games, the Portuguese has perhaps already indicated how his side will line-up at the weekend.

Back in October, and still unemployed following his United sacking the previous December, Mourinho was part of Sky’s team of pundits for Liverpool’s clash with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side at Old Trafford.

On that Sunday afternoon in Greater Manchester, United held Klopp’s side to a 1-1 draw , the first, and only time so far this season the Reds have dropped points in the top-flight.

And below is every word Mourinho said about facing Liverpool and how they set-up after the game.

"They are of course much stronger playing against an opposition that gives them chances of transitions and counter-attack and United, with the limitations they have at the moment, they play a different profile of game.

"They try to be solid at the back, they try not to give them a chance of transition, they keep always the three centre-backs in position plus [defensive midfielders, Scott] McTominay and Fred, who were always compact, and they didn't like the menu.

"For me, [Liverpool lacked] quality as a team to play against a low block which is a problem that sometimes they have. They have this fantastic record of so many victories - but apart from that, they have some limitations against teams that play with low blocks.

"They have fantastic results but sometimes they win just in the limits. They can smash opponents that play the way they want to play against."
