Tottenham Hotspur, trophyless since their 2007/08 League Cup triumph, now face a golden opportunity to return to the final for the first time since 2020/21. However, standing in their way are Premier League leaders Liverpool, making this semi-final clash a daunting task for Ange Postecoglou’s side. Spurs have struggled since their dramatic 4-3 quarter-final victory over Manchester United, enduring a four-game winless streak (D1, L3), leaving their form and confidence in question.
Injuries and illness have severely disrupted Spurs’ campaign, forcing them to operate with a depleted squad. This adversity has already prompted swift action in the January transfer market, with goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky being their first acquisition. Kinsky, who could debut here, offers hope for defensive stability to a side that has managed just one clean sheet in their last 11 competitive matches.
Despite Tottenham’s difficulties, Liverpool are not without flaws. Over the weekend, they squandered a lead to settle for a 2-2 draw against struggling Manchester United. Yet, Liverpool’s resilience in this competition is undeniable. The ten-time League Cup winners have navigated a challenging path to the semi-finals, overcoming three Premier League opponents despite failing to keep a clean sheet in the process.
Goalscoring has been Liverpool’s strong suit, with the Reds averaging over three goals per League Cup game this season. An unbeaten result here would also mark a ten-game streak in the competition for the reigning champions. Liverpool’s impressive away form further boosts their confidence, having gone unbeaten in all competitive away matches since April (W12, D4).
Key players to watch include Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke, who has two League Cup goals and three contributions in his last four meetings with former club Liverpool. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo leads their charge in this competition (G4, A1) and is one goal away from achieving a personal milestone of scoring in four consecutive games since joining the Premier League.
Hot stat: Eight of the last nine encounters between these two sides have seen both teams score, with over 2.5 total goals in each match, setting the stage for another high-scoring thriller.
