'You can see' - Antonio Conte makes Jurgen Klopp admission and '200%' Liverpool claim

Antonio Conte has hailed the 'incredible' form Liverpool have shown this season to still have a chance of winning all four major honours at this stage of the season. The Italian will take his Tottenham Hotspur side to Anfield on Saturday night as they go in search of a Champions League spot.

Liverpool secured their place in the final of the Champions League on Tuesday night with a 5-2 aggregate win over Villarreal and will play Spanish giants Real Madrid in Paris after their victory over Manchester City on Wednesday night.

The Reds will now take on Spurs in the Premier League on Saturday night knowing a win will take them to the top of the Premier League as City don't play Newcastle until a day later.

Conte's Spurs held Liverpool to a 2-2 draw in North London back in December and the Reds know they need more than just a point this time, but Tottenham are well in the hunt for that coveted fourth spot.

"I think Jurgen Klopp is doing a fantastic job with this team," said Conte. "It's not easy for an English team to arrive at the end of the season with the possibility to stay in the race for all of the competitions that you compete for. I think it's incredible because you can see Liverpool's players run a lot.

"The fact that they have not many injuries and they're doing a fantastic job. Their enthusiasm is not 100%, it's 200%. You don't feel the fatigue when you arrive at this point. We have to go there and play our game. We know we are in the race for a place in the Champions League and we have to try to find points in every game. For this game, we have to play against one of the best teams in the world. We are preparing very well."
