Jurgen Klopp has hailed Antonio Conte\u2019s turnaround of Tottenham as \u201cincredible\u201d despite Spurs having been temporarily brought back down to earth with a surprise loss at home to Brighton to keep the top four battle between themselves, Arsenal and Manchester United on. The recent upset aside, few would be foolish enough to doubt the level of Conte\u2019s impact.<\/p>\n
As it stands, Tottenham are still in the lead the race to qualify for the fourth spot in next season\u2019s Champions League, definitely a remarkable feat considering the messy situation Conte had walked into upon replacing his predecessor Nuno Espirito Santo in October.<\/p>\n
Tottenham will be traveling to Anfield in the reverse of December\u2019s pulsating 2-2 draw in north London, a vital game both sides can’t afford to lose.<\/p>\n
Understandably, taking into consideration <\/u>the events of the 2018\/19 season when both the titans Liverpool and Manchester City won every game available to them in the hotly-contested title race, many are expecting a similar end to the season this time around.<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of Liverpool\u2019s game with Manchester United on Tuesday, Klopp said: \u201cIf you are [fifth] in the Premier League it means you are a quality side.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause with all the opponents you have, it\u2019s madness how consistent you have to be to get somehow close to that area. You see Tottenham flying in the moment and then get a little drop [at the weekend], but the quality they have is incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n
