Spurs were forced to call off games against Rennes and Brighton and Hove Albion following a coronavirus outbreak within the club. Conte's side remain seventh in the league, three points above Leicester, but the former Inter head coach was left frustrated by the decision to keep Thursday's top-flight clash on.
I can understand, we can understand. On the other hand, I think we deserve to play our chance against Rennes to go to the next group. During the season there are problems but we have to be good, to be ready to face every problem in the right way. The Reds sit four points off league leaders Chelsea in third following a demolition of Arsenal at Anfield last Saturday. Their next challenge is Southampton at home on Saturday and Klopp praised the Reds' opponents as he expects a tough challenge.
The Saints, who are 13th, racked up three wins and a draw before throwing away a one-goal lead to lose at Norwich City last time out. The visitors' manager Ralph Hasenhuttl appreciates the task ahead but insisted his side have a chance.
Ward-Prowse has scored in three successive Premier League matches and is aiming to find the net for a fourth time in a row for the first time in his career.
The England international's opener in the recent draw with Tottenham ended a run of 11 consecutive goals in the competition from either a penalty or direct free-kick. Mbeumo became the first player in eight years to score a hat-trick as a substitute in the FA Cup with his treble off the bench against Port Vale. The year-old has three goals in 16 Premier League starts this campaign, a tally that he will be eager to add to should he be involved against Southampton.
Saints lost their last such home match v Leeds United in May , but have not lost consecutive top-flight home games against promoted clubs since November
