Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has played down the severity of Liverpool’s injury list ahead of the top-of-the-table clash at Anfield on Wednesday.

Reds counterpart Jurgen Klopp has had to deal with a congested treatment room in recent weeks amid a packed fixture list and will be without Virgil Van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Diego Jota, Kostas Tsimikas, James Milner, Thiago Alcantara and Xherdan Shaqiri against Spurs while Naby Keita and Joel Matip are doubts.
