“Liverpool at Anfield is an important game”.

And a double from skipper for the night Christian Eriksen plus goals from Josh Onomah and Erik Lamela meant Janssen’s misses weren’t costly last night.
The 22-year-old, who joined the North London club from AZ Alkmaar for £18.5m in the summer, has been behind Kane in the pecking order so far this season.
I am sure the players will be better for the experience, even though it was a tough one. He went on to compliment the player and how he regarded the teenager a “very good prospect” with the potential to be a top player. He has a lot of qualities – he is one of the best strikers in the world so it is nice to play together with him. But the side are without a victory in four games in all competitions and this is not the fixture they would want looking to end this run. “It is nice that he is here”.
The newly-promoted side have made a decent start to life back in the Premier League with five points from as many games.
First, Eriksen latched on to Lamela’s ball through before poking a finish under Nelson’s body and then the midfielder generously passed up the chance for a hat-trick, handing Janssen the penalty after Oshilaja had brought down Trippier.
Tottenham say the swelling around Kane’s right foot makes it hard to set a return date, but Janssen will be given an extended run, starting against Gillingham.
“So I have to thank him for that. I think, especially with this manager, you will get your opportunity”.
Value, therefore, lies in backing fewer than three goals to be scored and, as such, SkyBet’s 8/11 (1.73) quote offers outstanding value for punters ahead of Saturday’s showdown.
Once settled, however, Janssen caught fire, with 21 goals in 17 appearances after Christmas, and he insists it is only a matter of time before he hits form for Spurs.

Nkoudou told the club’s website: “I’m very happy because I’ve come back from not playing for a long time so I really liked coming back to the pitch and feeling the atmosphere”. You don’t just want to go there for a ride, you want people to be talking about you for the right reasons after the game.
