Liverpool enter this match in excellent form and with considerable tactical depth. Manager Arne Slot has gradually refined his system to blend high pressing with measured build-up play – a philosophy that has served the Reds well throughout the season. Slot’s emphasis on controlled transitions and exploiting spaces behind opposition lines will be crucial against a Tottenham side struggling to find defensive stability.
However, there is a significant blow for Liverpool. Trent Alexander-Arnold, a mainstay in their attacking full-back role, is now doubtful after suffering an injury against Bournemouth. The absence of the veteran’s incisive delivery from set-pieces and overlapping runs means Liverpool will likely rely on Conor Bradley to step up at right-back.
Despite this, Liverpool’s defensive core, anchored by Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk, remains formidable, and the full-back pairing of Bradley and Andy Robertson is expected to provide sufficient width and support.
On the attacking front, the combination of Mohamed Salah, Luis Díaz, and Cody Gakpo has been prolific this season. Their fluid interchange and off-the-ball movement he consistently exploited opposition defensive frailties. Slot’s tactical adjustments have also seen the midfield duo of Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister providing both protection and incisive passing to feed the attack.
With the possibility of Diogo Jota making an impact off the bench, Liverpool have the depth to maintain their intensity across all phases of play.av
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Alisson; van Dijk, Robertson, Bradley, Konate; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Gravenberch, Salah, Gakpo; Diaz.
Tottenham’s situation is markedly different from Liverpool’s. Manager Ange Postecoglou is under enormous pressure as his side languishes in the lower reaches of the Premier League table—currently in 14th place. A string of poor results has left the North London club with a depleted squad, as key players are sidelined by injuries and suspensions.
Notably, Dominic Solanke, who has been a vital component of Tottenham’s attack, is ruled out for at least six weeks after a knee injury sustained in training.
Alongside him, Brennan Johnson, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Destiny Udogie are also missing, leaving a significant void at both ends of the pitch.
To counterbalance these absences, Spurs have been forced into emergency measures. The club recently secured the loan signing of Austrian centre-back Kevin Danso from Lens to shore up defensive options.
In addition, the signing of Czech goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky represents a much-needed reinforcement in goal, with manager Postecoglou hinting that the young keeper might start given Fraser Forster’s recent struggles for form.
Tactically, Postecoglou has been unyielding in his commitment to an attacking style – even when the team’s defensive structure has suffered. His philosophy, which once brought flair and excitement, is now being questioned as it exposes Tottenham to the kind of high-tempo, precise counter-attacks that Liverpool are renowned for.
Despite pleas from pundits and mounting pressure from fans, Postecoglou remains defiant, insisting that his approach is the same one that will eventually deliver silverware.
However, with a long list of injuries and limited depth, Tottenham’s attacking intent may ultimately leave them too vulnerable at the back.
With key attacking options like Solanke and Brennan Johnson absent, Tottenham may be forced to adjust their shape, possibly deploying a 4-5-1 to offer extra defensive cover.
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Liverpool (4-3-3): Kinsky; Davies, Spence, Porro, Bentancur; Bissouma, Kulusevski, Gray; Son, Richarlison, Moore.
Bet hereIn the first leg of the League Cup semifinal, Liverpool suffered a 0-1 defeat due to tactical inflexibility and injuries. A compact, disciplined Tottenham defense stifled Liverpool’s fluid attacking play, while key injuries disrupted midfield cohesion. Spurs effectively absorbed pressure and capitalized on a rare counter-attack, converting a single opportunity into the decisive goal that secured their victory decisively overall.
However, this time the tactical battle in this tie is expected to be one of contrasts. Liverpool, under Slot’s management, will likely control possession and leverage their well-drilled pressing system to exploit the gaps in Tottenham’s weary defence.
Expect Liverpool to employ quick transitions, using the pace of Salah and the precise wing play of Gakpo and Díaz to stretch a Tottenham side that is struggling to cope with defensive responsibilities.
Both teams consistently generate corners this season – Tottenham averaging 7.50 and Liverpool 6.65 per match – yielding an expected total well above the 9.5 line.
Both teams favor attacking play with rapid transitions and frequent use of the flanks, which forces opponents into defensive clearances and corner situations. Liverpool’s pressing and Tottenham’s high forward commitment often leave gaps in defense, resulting in turnovers and set-piece opportunities, making the over 11.5 corners bet a good choice.
