Spurs - LFC:
The pattern of the game is pretty much understood:
-Spurs 4-2-3-1 lowblock, Hojbjerg and Sissoko alternating into the back 4 - blocking space for Salah and Mané.
- LFC 2-5(3)-3(5) build-up structure. Building through wide areas.

What remains to be seen is how aggressive LFC are in their press and Spurs beat it.
Historically Klopp doesn't change the strategy unless it's a really big opponent: MCFC 18/19 (More Conservative).

2 simplistic ways to stop a counter at the source or by structure.

LFC are likely to follow a similar approach to CFC. Win the ball or take the man - kills the press and any transitioning momentum.
This is where Mourinho's diverse approaches will be useful.

Mourinho has 2 contrasting approaches to beat a press, both are used in high frequency. 1) Play over the press: Fellaini vs Ajax 2016.
2) Beat the press; 2nd goal vs Arsenal 2020.
