Jurgen Klopp says it is untrue he has already decided to restore Lorius Karius to the Liverpool goal this weekend.
Karius has not played in the Premier League since his performance in a 2-2 draw with West Ham on December 11 brought criticism from pundits including Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher.
But a Simon Mignolet error contributed to Liverpool's defeat at Hull last weekend, prompting speculation Klopp might revert to his summer signing when Tottenham visit Anfield on Saturday.
Asked about Karius at his pre-match press conference the Reds boss said: "Who said I decided this? I have decided nothing in this case.
"We have not had 100 fantastic games in a row and that involves different players, myself and everything. But it is not that we make a decision like this at this moment.
"There is nothing to say about it but it is not right someone could have this information. Whoever gave you the information please delete him from your list."
Klopp was equally reluctant to share information on reports of an imminent new contract for Adam Lallana.
"Adam is a very important player for the squad with a pretty long contract. How close? We won't talk about this, but it says nothing about his importance if we are negotiating or not.
"We speak with player, we have to speak with agents and when something is decided we inform you immediately, but not beforehand."
