LONDON (Reuters) - The odds are stacked against Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur side inflicting a first Premier League loss on runaway leaders Liverpool on Saturday but he says his team should stay at home if they don't believe they can win.
Tottenham will be without leading striker Harry Kane for the visit of Liverpool who have won 19 and drawn one of their 20 league games so far and lead the table by 13 points.
"They are the best team in our competition, just to say that -- I could say more," Mourinho said of Liverpool."It's a big challenge for us to play them."We have injuries but I have to focus on what we did in the week, concentrate on the effort and enthusiasm the boys put in this week and the motivation you need to play the best teams.
"Good news is that before the end of the month we have two new players, Hugo Lloris and Ben Davies. This is good news," he said of the imminent return of keeper Lloris, who has been injured since Mourinho took over, and left back Davies who has made only one appearance in that period.
