Kick-off: 8pm UK Time, Wednesday 8th January 2024
Having been forced to settle for a share of the spoils by Manchester United last time out, Premier League leaders Liverpool will be eager to return to winning ways and get their two-legged EFL Cup semi-final off to a perfect start on Wednesday evening.
Disappointment
It was disappointment for Liverpool when they were held to a 2-2 draw by arch-rivals Manchester United on Sunday, this stalemate putting to an end a three-match winning run in the Premier League. Arne Slot’s men enjoy a game-in-hand over second-placed Arsenal as things stand but their lead at the summit of the league standings is just six points and as such, the title race is still very much alive. It’s fair to say that the Reds have been hugely impressive since the start of the campaign but they have relied very much upon the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea dropping points in order to claim top spot in the division. Their midweek EFL Cup clash with Spurs at the Tottenham Stadium will be a tough encounter and one in which we believe the Reds will come off second best.
Defensively shaky
Following a 5-0 thrashing of Premier League strugglers Southampton and a subsequent 4-3 win over Manchester United in the EFL Cup quarter-finals, Tottenham Hotspur have collected just a single point from their last four top-flight outings, defeats to Liverpool (3-6), Newcastle United (1-2) and Nottingham Forest (0-1) coming alongside a 2-2 draw at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers. The North London side have been having few issues finding the back of the net of late with goals scored in all-but-one of their last eight across competitions but defensively they have been shaky throughout the season.
Impressed
All things considered, Spurs have impressed in the EFL Cup more than any other competition and for that reason alone we envisage them edging their way to success on Wednesday evening. Liverpool should add to the scoreline here and make things tough for the home side but the likelihood is that Spurs will head to Anfield with a first-leg league under their belts.
Back Spurs to win and booth teams to score at best odds of 5/1
