Mauricio Pochettino may be without his star for these crucial meetings – but statistics show that it could actually play for the London club.

In 2019, Tottenham is surprisingly better unraveled without the center forward.

On the opening day of the year, Kane won the title of man of the match in a 3-0 win against Cardiff.

Manchester United was the next player in the league. Marcus Rashford scored the only goal of the game to seal a 1-0 win.

The 25-year-old then suffered ankle injury and missed the following four league games: Fulham, Watford, Newcastle United and Leicester City.

In these matches without Kane, the Pochettino team has won four straight wins.

After returning from the striker, the Spurs played five league games without a win.

This unfortunate fate extends over several weeks and includes defeats against Burnley, Chelsea, Southampton and Liverpool.

The next time Tottenham won with Kane leading the line, it was when they beat Crystal Palace 2-0 earlier this month.

The Reds fans quickly identified this fact: one of the supporters said: "The Spurs play better without him statistically and he was 0-0 when he left."

Another fan added: "The Spurs had better results when Kane was injured the last time."

Heung-min Son scored the winning goal for Londoners and is very popular with Liverpool fans.

A supporter wrote, "The Spurs had more points when Kane was not there, their main player is now Son."

While another said, "His son played well when Kane did not play."
