LLORIS: BE ON RED ALERT! PREM CLASHES

- BY TOM HOPKINSON

HUGO LLORIS has warned Liverpool to expect the same treatment this afternoon as his Tottenham side dished out to Manchester United

Mauricio Pochettino’s men were magnificen­t as they blew the Reds away on Wednesday with a display high on intensity, creativity and aggression.

They were a goal up inside 11 seconds and there was no coming back for the visitors.

Now, Lloris (left) will be important period,” said Lloris. “Every game is tough and it was important to start well against Manchester United.

“We had a great team performanc­e, but now we have to focus on Liverpool because it’s going to be another big battle against another contender.

“We need the same energy and the same spirit as we showed on Wednesday to get a result there. We will never change the way we play, this is the mentality of our manager. We must be brave and have no fear of the opponent, even if Liverpool is an aggressive team too. They are very competitiv­e and we know it’s going to be a tough place.

“We will try to get control of the game and put in the intensity.

“The key is aggression, too, because if you let teams like Manchester United or Liverpool play, they have so much that they can easily beat you with.”
