The Reds defender made his first appearance for the club at White Hart Lane last August.

And Liverpool restricted Spurs, holding them to a 1-1 draw after a James Milner penalty was cancelled out by Danny Rose.

Kane failed to find a way past Matip and his team-mates.

The England international, now understood to be targeted by Real Madrid and Barcelona, also drew a blank at Anfield in a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in February.

But Matip faces a tough test to stop in-form Kane today at Wembley (4pm).

However, the Cameroonian suggests Liverpool can crowd out Tottenham’s big threat.

“It was the whole defence [that defended strongly against Kane] and we did it very well,” Matip told Liverpool’s official website.

“A player like him, normally you cannot control him for 90 minutes, but there are 10 players next to me and they will help and we’ll do everything to not only keep him but their whole team quiet.

“That will be a tough and hard situation, but we are looking forward to this.

“Tottenham are a high-quality team with skills in defence, offense, everywhere, and yes it will be a tough and hard game, but we will not hide and we’ll do our best to win there.

“We are looking forward to this game and we are positive we can get something.”

Kane has six Premier League goals already despite failing to net in August.

And should he help Tottenham beat Klopp's Liverpool, they will go seven points clear of the eighth-placed Reds.
