Tottenham play host to Liverpool in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final in the early hours of Thursday morning and goals are expected to be on the menu at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
This game comes at a time when Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou is trying desperately to overcome a lengthy injury list which is, in particular, leaving him very short of defensive options.
That is a problem against most teams, but especially against a Reds outfit flying well clear at the top of the Premier League ladder and who won 6-3 at Spurs in a league game shortly before Christmas.
Postecoglou currently finds himself shorn of the services of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and defenders Ben Davies, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie and Micky van de Ven, so a run of four games without a win is perhaps not a great surprise.
Eleven goals have been shipped during that time, but it is worth remembering that Spurs have already accounted for both Manchester City and Manchester United on their way to the semi-finals of this competition.
United were downed 4-3 in a thriller which came immediately before the four-game winless run and the Lilywhites have scored six times in their last four games despite not tasting victory.
Dominic Solanke has scored four times in his last five appearances, including two against United, while Dejan Kulusevski netted in five consecutive games before a three-game mini-drought.
With all the above taken into consideration and with Postecoglou determined in his methods, another goal-fest is likely on Thursday morning, with both teams having scored in each of the last nine meetings of these two sides.
Three of their last four clashes have featured six goals or more, with Spurs 2.00 to score over 1.5 goals on Thursday and over 4.5 total goals priced up at 2.62.
Tottenham's last silverware was won in this competition back in 2008, when they defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the final and the Lilywhites will be desperate to impress on their own patch as they target a Wembley return.
Liverpool stand six points clear in the Premier League with a game in hand on all of their main rivals, while they also won six out of six in the UEFA Champions League league phase.
In short, it has been a pretty much perfect start for Arne Slot in the Anfield hotseat, with the Merseysiders having lost just one of their 23 matches played in all competitions so far this season.
And just like their hosts, Liverpool like to take the game to their opponents, having a wealth of attacking talent at their disposal - the 1-0 home league loss to Nottingham Forest being the only game this term they failed to score in.
The flip side of that is that they have only kept one clean sheet in their last six, so it is no surprise to see both teams to score on Thursday morning as low as 1.36.
The real challenge for a depleted Lilywhites backline is to try and keep the Reds attackers relatively quiet, with Mo Salah having scored 21 goals in total already this season, including two in the 6-3 victory three days before Christmas.
The Egyptian has netted five times in his last four appearances, while Cody Gakpo has scored in each of his last three outings, Luis Diaz has three in his last three and Diogo Jota waits in the things for his chance to impress.
Of course, the Liverpool frontline need service and just as important for Spurs will be to try and stifle the midfield trio of Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones, who have all excelled so far this season.
Away from home the Reds may not push for victory quite as much as usual, being confident that they can finish the job at Anfield and a 2-2 draw in north London is a 13.00 shot.
