Arsenal V Tottenham: Pictures<\/h3>\n

Tottenham have to change their own game plan if they are to hit Liverpool not so much where it hurts them, as when. Eight games into the season and Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side are still yet to concede a single goal in the second period of any of their games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the same time they have run in 15 at the other end in the second 45 minutes of play and if their six Premier League games were to be judged purely on second half displays, they would be top of the table with 16 points, two clear of defending champions Manchester City.<\/p>\n

It is in the first halves that Liverpool have been vulnerable and Ange Postecoglou has to target the early stages of their evening kick-off on Saturday if Tottenham are to have their best chance of taking all three points.<\/p>\n

That said, five times this season Liverpool have conceded the first goal and still come back to take the spoils. Spurs\u2019 trouble is that they two are more of a second-half team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the opening six matches of the season, they have scored six first-half goals, same as Liverpool, and conceded four, one fewer than the Reds. Both teams have scored nine in the second half, with Burnley\u2019s consolation in their 5-2 defeat and the opener for Sheffield United – in what ended up a 2-1 win for Spurs – the only goals to go in against the north London club after 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

Postecoglou is already trying to address this issue. Starting slowly was a bad habit Tottenham fell into under Antonio Conte. Under the Italian, it was not just a case of when they scored but if they scored – Tottenham have not failed to score in a single Premier League match since he left six months ago.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Under Postecoglou, Spurs have averaged 37 minutes for their first goal – already 10 minutes faster than they managed in Antonio Conte\u2019s final campaign, when they had to wait until the second half generally to get their scoresheet ticking.<\/p>\n

But Spurs are yet to hit the floor really running – just one goal scored in the opening quarter-hour of games all season. That has to be the focus now if Spurs are to be taken seriously in the race for the top four places.<\/p>\n

One thing is for sure, though. With Liverpool leading the way with seven goals scored in the final 10 minutes of normal time or later – and Tottenham scoring twice in injury time to beat Sheffield United – anybody leaving before the final whistle is likely to miss something.<\/p>\n

Tottenham\u2019s new all-white kit doesn\u2019t deviate from the traditional Spurs style. The fresh look for the 2023\/2024 season features navy cuffs and a pattern that runs throughout the kit that is said to be inspired by the music scene and eclectic streetwear of the Tottenham<\/p>\n
