Liverpool have been pretty much unstoppable in the Premier League this season so far and Arne Slot’s men will be hopeful of edging past Tottenham Hotspur in their semi-final, starting with a win in North London on Wednesday evening.

Arsenal v Newcastle United – 8pm
Arsenal remain in the hunt for the 2024/25 Premier League trophy with just six points separating them from league leaders Liverpool, however the Gunners will put their league campaign to one side this evening when they entertain Newcastle United in the EFL Cup semi-finals first-leg. The Magpies have been enjoying some blistering form of late and are fancied to give the Gunners a tough time at their north London home, however who – if anyone – will be taking a lead into the second leg at St James’ Park?

Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool – 8pm
The last meeting between these two sides produced no less than nine goals and we can be fairly certain that there will be plenty of goalmouth action in this midweek cup clash. Arne Slot’s side are flying high at the top of the Premier League table right now but Spurs will be hungry for silverware and are now just two games away from a place in the final. Can Ange Postecoglou’s men stop the Reds in their tracks or will Spurs become the latest victims of the Liverpool juggernaut?

Update: 23.12.24
Only four sides are left in this season’s EFL (Carabao) Cup and they will all battle it out for a place in the final of the tournament on 8th January.
Favourites
Liverpool are bidding to lift the Carabao Cup for the third time in four seasons and the Premier League title favourites and Champions League leaders are second in the betting to get their hands on the trophy at a best price of 2/1, behind 7/4 favourites Arsenal. Tottenham Hotspur are a 5/1 shot to lift the trophy while Newcastle United complete the betting at best odds of 6/1.
Thrilling encounter
The battles for a place in the final of the competition take place at 8pm on Wednesday, 8th January 2025. Arsenal entertain Newcastle United in what has the makings of a thrilling encounter, the Gunners odds-on favourites to edge past the Magpies in 90 minutes, Eddie Howe’s men as high as 19/4 in the same market.
Nine-goal thriller
Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool were involved in a nine-goal thriller at the weekend, Arne Slots getting the better of the North London outfit to the tune of 6-3. There’s little to suggest that we’ll be witness to such a high-scoring affair when the two sides meet for a second time in less than three weeks in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup but the evidence suggests that this will be another entertaining encounter between two attack-minded outfits.
Final
The Reds head into this match as firm favourites in the outright market (90 minutes) at a best price of 3/4, while Tottenham Hotspur are best odds of 15/4 to avenge their Premier League defeat by beating the Reds in normal time and taking their place in the final of the competition.

Only eight sides are left in the 2024/25 Carabao Cup and this number will be reduced to just four following the midweek round of fixtures.
There have been a few surprises along the way in this season’s Carabao Cup with many of the favourites having fallen by the wayside. Just eight sides remain in contention for the trophy and foremost amongst these is Liverpool, the Premier League and Champions League leaders favourites to claim the trophy for the third time in four seasons.

Southampton v Liverpool – 8pm
Southampton are looking pretty much dead and buried in the Premier League this season and with interim boss Simon Rusk in charge, we don’t envisage the south-coast side making it past Premier League leaders Liverpool and into the last four of the tournament.
