Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur
Liverpool have a slim deficit to overturn in their EFL Cup semi-final second leg against Tottenham Hotspur.
The Reds are at Anfield for this one where they have done some good work this season while Spurs are aiming to hold on to their advantage. Goals are not a problem for both teams and given the outcome in recent meetings, the hosts are expected to edge a high-scoring contest.
Liverpool Form
It was a rare defeat for Liverpool in the first leg as they fell 1-0 after conceding a late goal. However, the Reds have bounced back since that result, going unbeaten in six of their last seven matches and claiming five wins in that run, including a 2-0 victory at Bournemouth over the weekend.
One of the positives for Liverpool is that Thursday's clash is at Anfield, where they are unbeaten in their last 15 matches across all competitions, claiming 13 wins in that run. Arne Slot’s team are always rampant at home and have scored 10 second half goals in the last six fixtures in that run.
Liverpool have lost their early season defensive solidity and appear to concede more now, failing to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six home matches across all competitions. Given their prolific tendencies in front of their fans, five of those six fixtures have produced over 3.5 goals.
Tottenham Hotspur Form
Despite being under pressure due toTottenham Hotspur’s poor Premier League form, Ange Postecoglou is always quick to state that he always win trophies in his second season. They are now one game away from reaching the final of the EFL Cup after Lucas Bergvall's effort four minutes from time gave them a slim first leg advantage.
Things are still erratic for Tottenham, winning three and suffering as many defeats in their last six matches across all competitions. However, they have won their last two fixtures, beating Elfsborg 3-0 in the Europa League before claiming a 2-0 Premier League victory at Brentford last Sunday.
The goals continue to flow for Tottenham, who have scored four second half goals in their last five away matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in three matches in that run while two of their last three fixtures on the road have produced over 3.5 goals.
Head to Head
Liverpool had been unbeaten in 12 of 13 fixtures prior to that 1-0 defeat in the first leg. The Reds claimed a 6-3 away victory in the Premier League back in December and also picked up a 4-2 win in the last meeting at home.
Verdict
The first leg was not only a rare defeat for Liverpool this season but also a rare defeat against Tottenham Hotspur. The Reds seem to always get the better of Spurs and will be confident of turning things around on Thursday.
It is often a high-scoring contest between these teams, with two of the last three meetings producing over 3.5 goals. The Premier League clash in November had more second half goals and a similar outcome is expected here.
