Liverpool will face the top of the table on Wednesday night when Anfield receives Tottenham Hotspur from Jose Mourinho.
The two groups are tied with 25 problems after the first 12 games and it seems that they are likely to stay close to the most sensitive for the rest of the campaign.
Harry Kane has been an integral component of the Spurs’ good fortune, so this season, England forward added new dimensions to his game beyond just scoring.
The 27-year-old has gained a reputation for placing the bottom of the net in recent years, but this season it turns out that he has almost been encouraged through Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino.

The Brazilian has played number nine Jurgen Klopp in his tenure and his performances have helped the Reds to be champions of England and Europe.
The way Firmino behaves like number nine is somewhat orthodox, because fully contributing goals, it acts as a kind of attack center.
Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane benefit greatly from their presence, with the 29-year-old appearing a tendency to retreat to the middle of the field with and without ownership to close their facing parts and give their team a street in the last third.
Firmino is a complete contributor. Klopp recently said: “A football team is like an orchestra. You want other people to touch other tools. Some are stronger, some are less strong, but they are all at our own pace. Bobby plays like 12 tools in our orchestra.
Kane has also played a number of other tools over the years, however, it is moderate to recommend that his current influence is greater than ever, as it now has an effect on how Spurs score goals, how they build moves, how they protect. and how they handle the sets at the same time.
Mourinho has said in the past that some strikers “must score otherwise, their contribution is not great”, but Kane is comfortably the opposite right now.
Only Patrick Bamford has fired more shots than Kane so far this season, and he is also eighth in the department in key passes, which are explained as passes leading to shots. Kane generates a huge amount for himself and his teammates, and also advances the ball to the park’s advertising aspect for the Spurs.
The Englishman ranks 11th in the Premier League in progressive passes, which are explained as finished passes that move the ball towards the opponent’s purpose at least 10 metres from his furthest point in the last six passes or passes completed in penalty dominance, which is remarkable. technically he’s a striker.
Most of the strikers are too high up the field to provide progressive passes, however, Kane’s new role has allowed him to pass deep enough to worry in medium-field spaces similar to Firmino.
When asked about his new responsibilities, Kane said, “This season I fell a little deeper and the width has been left behind. “
His Heung-min and Steven Bergwijn clearly play quite a bit in the mold of Mane and Salah, and provide rival defenses with comparable disorders as they struggle to cope with the two-front attack.
On the defensive side, no other striker has made as many clearings as Kane’s 20 this season, with the 6-foot-2 guy who has proven useful in directing stopped shots.
In the end, Firmino has been the exception in recent years, but now that it can be argued that the most productive striker of the subsidiary begins to contribute to the subsidiary as the Brazilian Liverpool does, he may now be identified as mandatory and banal.
If the Reds want to win and outperform Mourinho’s men on Wednesday, Kane’s rule of the debates will be essential.
