Tottenham vs Liverpool – LIVE!
Tottenham look to keep their bid for a first trophy since 2008 alive as they host Liverpool in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final tonight. Not since winning this competition 16 years ago have Spurs got their hands on some silverware, and the pressure is on Ange Postecoglou after he stated he always wins a trophy in his second season at a club.
It is now five matches without a win, though for Spurs, after they were beaten by Newcastle over the weekend to leave them 12th in the Premier League. Injuries have been a problem and the absentee list has been added to tonight, with Pape Matar Sarr and James Maddison both suspended.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are flying on all fronts, and sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand. They were held to a draw by Manchester United last time out, but will be in confident mood heading to north London, having thrashed Spurs 6-3 here just a few weeks ago.
