"Kane's situation this season is strange..."

This Sunday, Tottenham host Klopp's Liverpool at home. It will be a tough game, but Conte expects his side to play a great match.

The Italian coach is hoping that this will be Harry Kane's game, who has been missing more than usual this season. He has just eight goals and two assists to his name.

Conte admitted he is surprised by Kane's numbers at this stage of the season: "It's very strange, isn't it? If you compare what he did in the past, this is very strange. But also in the past, in my experience, before as a player and then as a coach, it's something that happens."

"When I played, I played alongside important strikers who, for a long time, didn't score. But my judgement of them didn't change. I wanted to have them in my team too if they didn't score," he continued.

Goal or no goal, Conte wants the Englishman in his ranks every time. "If you have Kane in your team, for sure you feel stronger," he finished.
