Klopp can stop Kane spanking

PUNTERS will be queueing up to bet leaky Liverpool get a Kaning at Wembley this afternoon – and who can blame them?

Yes, Harry Kane’s explosion of scoring form last month was fuelled in large part by some limp opposition.

Yes, his Premier League numbers this season are still running some way below his brilliant 2016/17 data.

But you wouldn’t know it to look at him, would you? Confidence is king. And, right now, it looks like Harry wakes up every morning with his orb in his hand and his crown on his head.

Liverpool’s defence are no strangers to the dunce’s cap the 7-0 jolly-up in Slovenia in midweek was their first away clean sheet of the season, and their fourth in 14 all told.

But remember they have blanked Manchester United and Arsenal along the way.

Don’t swallow the goals-galore hype that says today’s game has got to be some sort of custard-pie fight, because Jurgen Klopp’s Reds will be too busy prancing about to shut the back door.

Klopp drew five out of 10 meetings with fellow top-six clubs last season, with seven of those results ‘UNDER 2.5 goals’.

Klopp’s Liverpool record against ‘top-six’ sides is nine draws in 23, with 14 UNDERS – and three 0-0’s no one really saw coming. Wembley toils against Burnley, Barnsley, Swansea and Bournemouth showed that the Kane Team can be tamed. Spurs have scored a goal or fewer in 50 per cent of their games this season all told. The DRAW at 13/5 (Coral) is the value call (4pm) in what could prove a much tighter match than advertised. The long shot that shines is ‘no goalscorer’ at 14/1 (Hills) – feels so wrong, it must be right! Last week: Winner at 13/5
