Richarlison has publically vowed to make Tottenham’s starting XI against Liverpool in their upcoming Premier League clash.

Speaking to ESPN Brasil, the £60m striker stated that he is eager to be named in Ange Postecoglou’s side that will face the Reds this weekend in what is already billed as a blockbuster fixture.

Richarlison started Sunday’s north London derby on the bench, and the attacker is now eyeing for a start for Saturday’s match against Liverpool.

The two sides have been up there as some of the best in the Premier League, with a victor on the day putting pressure on Manchester City, something Liverpool will want to do.

And Richarlison wants to put a damper on Liverpool’s parade, with the forward saying: “What I was suffering from wasn’t on the pitch, in training, it was the bad people around me.

“Thank God those people are gone, it’s all going to get better. Now I have to train as hard as I can this week to be a starter against Liverpool.”

Liverpool will hope Richarlison and Tottenham have an off-day

Richarlison and Tottenham have started the new season in fine form, with Postecoglou making an instant impact with the north London side since joining from Celtic and winning plaudits along the way.

And for Liverpool, the Anfield side will be hoping that Spurs have their first off day under the Australian manager, with Tottenham still unbeaten in the Premier League.

A win for Klopp’s side will be quite the statement in the race for a UEFA Champions League spot, and Liverpool will hope Richarlison and Tottenham fail to turn up on Saturday in the English capital.
