Tottenham host Liverpool in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final this evening with both teams hoping to gain an advantage over the other ahead of next month’s return fixture.
Spurs are in desperate need of a success story after a run of four matches without a win including a 6-3 defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League just a couple of weeks ago. Ange Postecoglou is under increasing pressure to turnaround Tottenham’s fortunes – they are 12th in the top flight table – but a poor season in the league will be forgiven if the manager can secure Spurs’ first silverware since 2008.
Liverpool, meanwhile, hope to move one step closer to securing Arne Slot’s first trophy since replacing Jurgen Klopp in the summer. The Reds look on course to lift the Premier League at the end of the season, despite a 2-2 draw with Man Utd last time out, and are performing strongly in the Champions League. Victory over Spurs tonight would move them within one match of a trip to Wembley and keep their strong momentum going.
