Liverpool v Tottenham: EFL Cup semi-final preview

Tottenham Hotspur will look to make a return to the EFL Cup final when they make the trip to Anfield on Friday night for their semi-final second leg against Liverpool.

A Lucas Bergvall goal in the first leg in north London has given Ange Postecoglou’s side a slender advantage going into the second encounter on Merseyside.

Spurs’ last major trophy with success in the EFL Cup back in 2008 and Postcoglou will be hoping his side can return to Wembley by battling past the Reds this week.

Spurs handed double boost

Tottenham were busy at the end of the January transfer window, with the north London outfit being able to secure the services of defender Kevin Danso and coveted forward Mathys Tel.

Given Spurs’ injury woes this season, the pair joined the club at just the right time and are likely to be pushing for involvement in Friday’s semi-final against the Reds.

While Tottenham have struggled in the Premier League this season, they have enjoyed more joy in cup competitions and in the UEFA Europa League this term.

Managing to edge out a 1-0 win in the first leg, Spurs will know they can sit back and defend that lead if they are to make it through to Wembley.

Reds have work to do

Going into this game knowing they have ground to make up, expect Arne Slot’s Liverpool to be at it from the off at Anfield.

The Liverpool boss is likely to name a stronger side than he did for the first-leg and the Reds know they are capable of putting goals past this Tottenham side.

When these teams met in the Premier League just before Christmas, Liverpool ran out 6-3 winners at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz both bagged themselves braces in that game and the pair might well feature in the second-leg showdown on Friday.

Salah is available at 1.72 in the anytime goalscorer market, while Diaz is currently 2.20 to find the back of the net against Spurs.
