The victory in the quarter-final of the EFL Cup over Manchester United remains the final win for Tottenham. In the last four rounds of the Premier League, they’ve only earned one point. The team’s current form is the worst this season, and Ange Postecoglou’s team have never had such a weak period.
While almost the entire defence line is in the infirmary, Ange continues to stick to attacking football. However, it’s tough to keep up with Liverpool, as the visitors can be deadly on counterattacks.
In addition to the vast number of injured players, Tottenham have lost two midfielders to excessive cards. Postecoglou hasn’t had any room to manoeuvre in the back for a long time. His team finished the match against Newcastle with a defence of three fullbacks.
Star player Heung-min Son will stay longer with the Spurs. The club activated a clause in his contract, which is now valid till June 2026.

Liverpool are heading to London after an unsuccessful match against Manchester United. The crisis-ridden opponents surprised them in the Premier League and clinched a draw at Anfield. Any failure of Slot’s men is now perceived as something out of the ordinary.
Liverpool’s path to the EFL Cup semi-finals was quite tricky. In all three rounds, they faced formidable opponents. Brighton and Southampton caused a lot of problems for the team, and they’ve not yet left the pitch without conceding a goal.
Ahead of the clash, Liverpool don’t have any severe losses. Ibrahima Konate has returned from injury. On the left, Kostas Tsimikas may get his chance. We can expert Wataru Endo in the middle of the field as the Japanese has been good from the bench.
| Recent Form | DWWWW |
| Key Players to Watch | Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai |

| Team Weaknesses | Frailties in the defence |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Joe Gomez, Dominik Szoboszlai (questionable) |
The teams have an 182-match history of H2H meets. Liverpool have 88 wins, the Londoners have 49, and 45 have ended in a draw. In general, both sides play prolific games with three or more goals scored frequently.
The clubs last met in the EFL Cup nine years ago. In October 2016, the Reds won thanks to a brace from Daniel Sturridge and advanced to the quarter-finals (2-1).
Bet hereIt’s difficult to single out any player in Tottenham’s squad, as the team are on a poor streak. However, we can mention James Maddison and Dominic Solanke. Both are leading the team in the number of goals scored.
In Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has the best season after his initial one. The Egyptian already has 18 goals and 13 assists to his account. Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz are also on fire, while Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister are stalwarts in the midfield.
Both teams prefer the same system. Tottenham, under Ange Postecoglou, have been playing with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Arne Slot usually does the same but sometimes switches to a 4-3-3 scheme. We don’t expect significant changes in this regard for the clubs.
Arne Slot and his team must pull themselves together to avoid a second consecutive misfire against weaker opponents. Even if this is just the first match on the road, Liverpool can easily beat Tottenham, which they’ve already proven in the Premier League.
The hosts are in crisis while the visitors are doing without any significant losses. Liverpool have demonstrated their best game in recent matches and are one of the best clubs in Europe.
We think that Liverpool will have the initiative in this encounter and dominate their opponents. After a draw against Manchester United, we expect them to win this clash. Our pick would be Liverpool to win.
The recent meet between these teams produced nine goals. Last season, Tottenham and Liverpool scored six goals together, and the season before that, seven. If we look at the last 10 matches of each team, Tottenham score an average of 2 goals, and Liverpool 2.8 per game.
Tottenham’s attack remains the only line of the team that perform at their best. Liverpool has recently declined in the defence. In four of the last eight matches, Liverpool have conceded at least two goals.
We think that given the clubs’ current form, a high-scoring affair is anticipated. Our second pick in the match would be over 3.5 goals.
