Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool Predictions

This clash is going to be an exciting one as two of the best attacking sides battle for a place in the final. While Tottenham have impressed with their attacking displays, their defence hasn’t been good with several key players out injured. We expect Liverpool to emerge victorious and take a narrow lead into the second leg.

Tottenham Hotspur host Liverpool in the second of the EFL Cup semi-final first legs this week on Wednesday night.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot will continue his surge to defend the cup won by Jurgen Klopp last season, while Ange Postecoglou is seeking to stick to his promise of always winning a trophy within two years at a new club.

Head-to-head:

• Tottenham have won 49 of the 184 meetings between the two teams.
• Liverpool have recorded 91 victories.
• The remaining 44 clashes ended in draws.
• 8 of their last 10 clashes produced at least 3 goals.
• 3 of their last 4 meetings produced at least 4 goals.
• Liverpool have lost just 1 of their last 6 visits to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Form:

• Tottenham in all competitions: W-L-L-D-L
• Liverpool in all competitions: W-W-W-W-D

Team News:

• Tottenham have a host of injury issues at the moment. The injury list includes key defenders Destiny Udogie, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Richarlison, Guglielmo Vicario, and Wilson Odobert.
• As for Liverpool, they will be delighted to have all the players available except for Joe Gomez who is out with a hamstring injury.

Player(s) to watch:

• Dominic Solanke had a slow start to the season, but he is back to his brilliant best having scored four goals in his last five matches. The England international is finally repaying the faith Tottenham has put on him this summer. In the last game against Newcastle United, he scored a fine header to give them an early lead but was unable to drag to victory in consecutive matches.
• Mohamed Salah has been in relentless form for Liverpool this season and is arguably the best player in the league in current form. This season, he has already scored 21 goals from 27 matches in all competitions and provided an astonishing 17 assists. In his last eight games, Salah has registered a goal or assist in each match to continue his incredible form. He will be again crucial here to book their place in the Wembley final.
