Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is counting on his side to perform in the pitch against Liverpool exactly as they had in the first few games of the season.

Pochettino's side opened the third weekend of the Premier League season on top of that table, winning over West Ham and QPR. Just as well, they showed a spectacular performance on their 3-0 win over AEL Limassol in the second leg of their Europa League on Thursday.

So far, Pochettino is not planning to make any changes with the game play as for the fact that he is delighted with the way things are for him and his squad. He considers the upcoming match against Liverpool to be the toughest game of the season and he expects his players to give their best shot just like they did in the previous matches.

"We are looking forward to Sunday," he said. "I think it is a great game, a tough game. We are looking forward to it. We will try to win the three points.

"For me, all games are a big test. It is true that Liverpool were second last season and they have invested a lot of money on buying different players.

"Yes, it is a big test but we need to put in place a mentality to get three points. We need this mentality for Sunday like we had in the last games.

"We are in the beginning of this project. Only two months I have been at Tottenham.

"Liverpool have played the last two seasons in the same way, but without any doubt we try to put our philosophy to try and win the three points. That for us is important.

"It is a tough game, a good game to enjoy but in the end I think both teams will try to play in the same way, in the same philosophy. I think it is good for our supporters and football people."
