Harry Kane says Liverpool can be beaten at Anfield and wants his Tottenham team to continue a recent return to form by taking the points in the Premier League on Sunday.

The north London side sit tenth in the table after an uneven start to the campaign, but picked up a first win in five games in midweek with a 5-0 Champions League victory over Red Star, in which Kane scored twice.

By contrast, Liverpool have won six of their last seven in all competitions and haven’t lost a league game at home since April 2017.

Even so, Kane feels the Reds aren’t unbeatable, telling reporters that the Spurs players will be concentrating on their own performances and looking to leave Merseyside with a first league win in a month.

“Van Dijk is a great defender, but he’s not invincible and Liverpool are not invincible,” Kane said.

“We just have to concentrate on ourselves. Any team can be beaten on any day and we just have to try to make sure we do that at Anfield. As a striker, it’s not just one-v-one on the pitch, there’s a lot that goes into it. Van Dijk is an amazing defender and he has had a fantastic couple of years at Liverpool.

“So, from my point of view, it’s just about playing my game and making my movements, making my runs and trying to get on the scoresheet, trying to get assists.

“At the end of the day, it’s a team game, so we all have to be on it with each other and that’s the main aim. You want to win, you want to come out on top and they came out on top in May, or June, whenever it was. I’ve tried to forget it.”

Manager Mauricio Pochettino acknowledges that his side face a testing 90 minutes against the last unbeaten side in the league, but says he’s fully motivated to ensure his team performs on the big stage.

“Of course, it is going to be difficult. Liverpool are having a fantastic season, last season they were very close in the Premier League with Man City, they won the Champions League final against us and I think they’re doing a fantastic job.

“Jurgen Klopp is a fantastic guy, I admire him and we have a great relationship. It is great to meet him and play against a team like Liverpool that have unbelievable players.

“For me, it is a joy to go there and the motivation is there is there to play in a stadium like Anfield - it always is amazing. When you have the opportunity to play this kind of game, you are thankful because you never know if you are going to have the opportunity to play it again.”
