Ex-Liverpool player Stan Collymore is backing the Reds to come out on top against Tottenham in the Champions League final.

The former striker believes Jurgen Klopp’s men simply have more firepower than Spurs heading into the game on Saturday evening:

“The fact that Liverpool have more weapons than Tottenham makes my old club favourites to win the Champions League final in Madrid on Saturday.”

“The front three of Roberto Firmino, Mo Salah and Sadio Mane, plus the form of Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum, will give them the edge, however slight.”

“The fact Liverpool beat Barcelona in such extraordinary circumstances as well will mean the feeling in the dressing room is quite simple.”

“They will believe they shattered a stronger glass ceiling that night than anything they’d have to break to beat Spurs and that will give them huge belief.”

68 goals between Liverpool’s front three this season does demonstrate their strength in the attacking third, but Tottenham have certainly shown their teeth in this season’s competition as well.

They scored four over two legs against Manchester City, while they scored three goals in one half to overcome Ajax in the semi-finals.

The final in Madrid is likely to be a frantic affair with both teams pressing high in order to retain possession of the ball.

Ultimately, the outcome may depend on how both midfields cope whilst playing under pressure in order to feed their quick and lethal frontlines.

Considering the threat Liverpool’s strikeforce poses, and the fact that Spurs may not have a fully fit Harry Kane, the Reds do have an advantage in that area.
