Jurgen Klopp has rightly raised expectations at Liverpool and the visit to Tottenham will answer plenty of questions that people have been asking about their English Premier League title hopes, writes GARY LEMKE.

Tottenham away, albeit at Wembley, which might ironically suit the visitors more than the hosts – who will be without World Cup-winning goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and England’s Dele Alli for the match – is a huge challenge for Liverpool.

Before the season started, in my first Superbru column, I picked Manchester City to win the League, followed by Liverpool, Arsenal in third, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham. Four matches down and 34 to go, my only revision on this would be to swap Chelsea and Arsenal around. I did mention that patience and sticking to one’s ‘formula’ is the way to go with Superbru and anything around a 60% winning rate will comfortably place you in the top 1% of global users at the end of the season.

So, if you have a 60% success rate this far, which is 24 out of 40, then take a bow, you’re well on track. After this next round, you’ll need to be around 30 correct calls. Not that it gets any easier.

This week there look to be some bankers, namely Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man United and Wolves. In terms of bankers, I mean that they are odds-on favourites on bet.co.za, to beat Fulham (H), Cardiff (H), Newcastle (A), Watford (A) and Burnley (H).

Other favourites in the round are: Liverpool (vs Tottenham, A), Crystal Palace (vs Huddersfield, A), Bournemouth (vs Leicester, H), Everton (vs West Ham, H) and Southampton (vs Brighton, H).

But, tread carefully, this is a dangerous week and if you can get six out of 10 and earn that extra bonus point awarded for six correct predictions, you will have had a good round. I’m going to be very happy to pick up six ‘wins’, take my medicine and move on to next week.

Invariably there are ‘surprise’ results in weeks such as this one, mainly because there has been an international break and players involved for their country only returned to their clubs on Wednesday or Thursday with little time to shake off niggles, travel fatigue and re-adapt to the club system.

The programme therefore actually benefits those clubs who didn’t lose players to the international break, as they’ve rested and been able to fit in a few more training sessions and fine-tune their tactics.

So, I wouldn’t be expecting Chelsea to run up a cricket score against Cardiff at home, likewise, Manchester United’s trip to Watford has just become a touch more difficult, as has Arsenal’s away to Newcastle. Don’t be afraid to take on the bookies in weeks like this.

The big one remains Tottenham at home to Liverpool. Initially, I went for the draw but have subsequently switched to Klopp making a difference. I don’t think Spurs can better their performances of last season and at some stage they will start to wilt. One needs to bear in mind that at the World Cup in June and July, Tottenham were the best-represented club side anywhere, with nine players still being involved at the semi-final stage – and therefore also up to the third- and fourth-place playoff – and that Harry Kane won the Golden Boot.

They definitely have the firepower to beat Liverpool, while the draw will be a popular choice, although I just love Klopp’s cavalier approach to the game and Liverpool fans are lucky to have such a great man-manager guiding them. Just look what he did at Dortmund and he’s already taken Liverpool to the Champions League final.

The big question for him though is how to negotiate Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday and then the Champions League match against PSG just over 72 hours later. He’s going to have to juggle his bench with Tuesday in mind, but won’t want to lose against a top-four rival.

Klopp will, privately, be happy with a draw against Spurs and then regroup for Tuesday. That renders all three results ‘live’ and a Tottenham win would not be surprising.
