Bradley fancies his chances at making headway down the right but Spence has other ideas, using his upper body strength to barge the Northern Irishman to the ground, at the expense of a throw-in.

After a difficult opening few minutes, Liverpool are slowly starting to edge their way up the pitch and cause more problems for a so-often-suspect Spurs backline. Thus far, however, the home side have looked fairly resolute at the back.

CHANCE! Tsimikas stands over the free-kick and angles a lovely ball towards the centre of the box. It finds the head of Gakpo, who steers his effort straight at Kinsky. Either side of the goalkeeper, and it might've caused a few headaches.

First booking of the night, and it goes the way of Bissouma. A rather clumsy challenge after letting Jota burst the wrong side of him, and one which means he'll be walking a tightrope for the remainder of this game. Free-kick to Liverpool, 30 yards out and fairly central.

Jarell Quansah trudges towards the sidelines, to be replaced by Wataru Endo. It looks like the orthodox midfielder will slot into the centre of defence alongside Van Dijk.

And now Quansah drops to his haunches inside the penalty area, signalling that there's some kind of issue with his lower leg. Could the visitors also be forced into an early change here in North London?

Another searching ball down the left channel has Solanke interested, and under pressure from the Spurs frontman, Quansah is forced to clear the ball high into the stands. Arne Slot's Premier League leaders have found things really difficult in these early stages.
