Liverpool welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield on Tuesday, September 15, in the Carabao Cup third round, with both sides looking to respond to contrasting starts to the campaign.
Softfootball reports that Liverpool were held to a goalless draw by resilient Fulham in their latest Premier League outing, producing a disappointing display in the final third. However, the Reds bounced back in Europe with a 2-1 Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid on September 9 and will now aim to progress in a competition they have won a record 10 times.
Tottenham arrive in far worse form, having drawn twice and lost twice in their opening four Premier League matches without scoring a single league goal. Roberto De Zerbi’s side also face a difficult record against Liverpool, having won just twice in their last 20 meetings.
Team News
Liverpool are expected to rotate heavily, with Trey Nyoni, Alexis Mac Allister, Lewis Koumas and Cody Gakpo among those pushing for starts. Wataru Endo could also feature, potentially at centre-back.
Tottenham may field a stronger XI, with Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali expected to feature. Pedro Porro remains a doubt, while Archie Gray could continue at right-back.
Possible Lineups
Liverpool: Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Araujo, Endo, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Nyoni; Ngumoha, Koumas, Munoz; Gakpo.
Tottenham: Kinsky; Gray, Van Hecke, Senesi, Robertson; Fernandes, Tonali; Kudus, Gallagher, Savio; Solanke.
Prediction
Liverpool’s depth and home advantage should prove decisive despite their recent attacking struggles. Tottenham’s confidence remains a major concern, and Liverpool should create enough chances to advance.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur
