Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp names Tottenham's five key players aside from Son and Harry Kane

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been discussing Tottenham Hotspur's key players ahead of his side's Premier League clash with Spurs on Wednesday night.

The two sides go head-to-head in a huge encounter with both sides locked on 25 points at the top of the table in what has been an unpredictable season to date.

Both Liverpool and Tottenham slipped up on the weekend but remained at the top, setting up Wednesday evening's meeting between the top two.

Ahead of Tottenham's trip to Anfield to take on the reigning champions, Reds boss Klopp has been picking out the key Spurs men his players must nullify.

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are almost a given their electric form so far this season, the pair scoring 22 goals and assisting 17 between them to-date.

And Klopp did highlight those two players, but he also pointed out five others Liverpool must be wary of heading into Wednesday night's encounter.

"If we keep [Son and Kane] quiet, they have a lot of others," he said in his pre-match press conference.

"A proper team with threats. Bergwijn is important to counters. Ndombele needed a bit longer but now 100% there. Lo Celso, Sissoko, Hjobjerg, a proper unit in midfield. It works well."

Speaking about Kane and Son, Klopp added: "Harry Kane, of course, at all times, you have to make sure he is not involved and with Son it is the same.

"The relationship they have has clicked properly. A lot of good things to say about Tottenham. We will still try to win the game."
