Klopp's Reds go into Tuesday's EFL Cup tie against Tottenham third in the Premier League, level on points with leaders Manchester City and Arsenal.

"We can defend better, we can attack better, we can create better," he said.

The hosts will be without suspended captain Jordan Henderson, with Spurs midfielder Moussa Sissoko also banned

Klopp will recall goalkeeper Simon Mignolet in place of Loris Karius, who he insists is his first choice.

"That's the ranking: Loris number one, Simon number two," said the German. "Mignolet is a very serious player, a good professional. He's still not happy but you cannot see it in training. He is hard working and improving."

Striker Danny Ings, who has played just 26 minutes of first-team football this season, is expected to feature and has scored four goals in four games for the club's under-23 side in recent weeks.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will rest keeper Hugo Lloris, meaning Michel Vorm is likely to start in goal.

Sissoko begins to serve what is expected to be a three-game ban after accepting an FA charge for violent conduct.

The France international caught fellow midfielder Harry Arter with an elbow during Saturday's 0-0 draw at Bournemouth.

Spurs arrive at Anfield having not beaten Liverpool in eight attempts, their last success being a 2-1 Premier League win in November 2012.

Daniel Sturridge: The Birmingham-
born forward has largely been out of
favour under Jürgen Klopp and is yet
to get off the mark in the league.
However, he did bag a brace against
Burton at the Pirelli Stadium in the
second round of this season’s
competition and will be hoping to
continue that form against Spurs.
Best stat…
The last time Tottenham beat Liverpool
was in November 2012, which was
Gareth Bale’s last season at the club.
Bizarrely, he scored at both ends in
that game.
Remember when…
Mario Balotelli netted his first Premier
League goal for Liverpool in a see-saw
encounter, with the Italian tucking
home late in the game to secure a 3-2
victory.
Player to watch…
Philippe Coutinho: The Brazilian is the
Reds’ top scorer in all competitions
with five and had a devastating impact
against West Brom on Saturday. His
link-up play with Roberto Firmino and
Sadio Mane is one of the main reasons
that the Liverpool faithful are daring to
dream of a first Premier League crown.
