Tottenham vs. Liverpool: Who has the edge at each position?
Keeper
Simon Mignolet figures to get the start for Liverpool while Michel Vorm will almost certainly be in-goal for Spurs. Neither man inspires a ton of confidence in their respective fan bases.
Klopp has made a point of bringing in competition for Mignolet, but none of his replacements are quite ready for this type of occasion. He’s already let in five goals on the season which has the Anfield faithful in a near panic.

Vorm, of course, will start in place of injured Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris. He managed to keep a clean sheet against Palace, but honestly wasn’t really tested. He did make a fine save in relief against Everton that helped Spurs earn a crucial draw.
There isn’t a lot to separate these two keepers, but you have to give the slight edge to Vorm. He hasn’t been scored on yet this season, whereas Mignolet has seen five goals fly past him. That’s enough to give Spurs the edge in-goal.
