Liverpool v Tottenham

Liverpool vs Tottenham Preview

Liverpool bounced back from their midweek 3-2 loss away from home at Dutch giants PSV in the Champions League over the weekend when The Reds registered a solid 2-0 win away from home at Bournemouth in the Premier League, but the merseyside club have more work to do on Thursday night if they are to take their place in this season's EFL Cup final.

Tottenham made it two wins on the trot in all competitions on the weekend in the Premier League as Spurs ran out 2-0 winners away from home at Brentford which would have come as a welcome relief for manager Ange Postecoglou and his side, and this result followed a comprehensive 3-0 home win against Swedish outfit, Elfsborg, in the Europa League.

Liverpool trail their north London visitors by a 1-0 margin after defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the 1st leg of this EFL Cup semi-final tie back in early January, but Arne Slot's side will still fancy their chances of overhauling this deficit at Anfield on Thursday night.

Results overall this season though have perhaps been beyond expectations for Liverpool as they began this campaign under new management following Jurgen Klopp's departure and incoming Arne Slot was an unknown quantity at Premier League level.

Nevertheless, just two defeats from their previous 32 matches across all competitions tells you all you need to know regarding Slot's immersion into merseyside, whilst his side have collected no fewer than 25 wins in the process - goals may also feature here as five out of Liverpool's last 10 games have seen both teams score.

Tottenham will be desperate to hold onto their slender 1-0 lead when they make their way up to Anfield as the north London club look to further distract themselves from what has been a disastrous campaign so far in this season's Premier League.

The London club have moved up into 14th place in the Premier League table after that desperately needed 2-0 win away from home at Brentford last Saturday but results overall have been light years away from where Spurs need to be.

Having picked up just seven wins within their last 19 games in all competitions along with being handed no fewer than eight defeats within this period as well, Tottenham's 1-0 lead heading into this 2nd leg tie at Anfield looks to be hanging by a thread, especially as Spurs have registered just five wins from their last 13 outings on the road overall.

Goals for both teams looks likely here though as six out of Tottenham's last 10 matches overall have produced goals for both sides.
