Former Tottenham Hotspur defender William Gallas believes Liverpool are 'favourites' in their match with Spurs on Sunday in North London despite their 2-1 win over Marseille on Tuesday night.
The ex-France international thinks Antonio Conte 's style of play against the 'big teams' will favour Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday evening.
Conte has been criticised in recent weeks for Spurs' defensive displays - most notably in the loss away at Manchester United. Gallas wasn't 'happy' with how his former side played in their Champions League win during the week.

Former Chelsea man Gallas thinks the home side should always be the favourite in a match, but this isn't the case for this Sunday despite Spurs being six places above Liverpool in the Premier League table.
Gallas told Genting Casino : "Liverpool are favourites against Tottenham - I wasn’t happy with Spurs’ win over Marseille. Normally you’re favourites when you play at home.
"But after the performance against Marseille I’m concerned because I still wasn’t happy with how they played, even if they won 2-1.
"They were lucky because Marseille had many opportunities to score and we know the tactics of Antonio Conte, but when you play against big teams like Liverpool, you can’t leave Liverpool to come close to your box because with their quality Tottenham will concede goals so they have to be careful."
