The Reds trail by one goal after Lucas Bergvall’s late strike in the first leg. Liverpool have work to do when they host Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg this evening. The Reds lost the first leg 1-0 in London after Lucas Bergvall scored late in the game to give Spurs the win and, more crucially, a slim advantage heading into tonight’s match at Anfield. Arne Slot’s men have the ability and willingness to come from behind and reach the final at Wembley. Liverpool have lost just one of their last seven, when Slot fielded a weakened team in the Champions League against PSV, and two goals from Mo Salah in their recent win over Bournemouth means their leading goalscorer is in top form.
Tottenham, meanwhile, have struggled to build any momentum in their recent games but a confidence-boosting win over Brentford came at the right time for Ange Postecoglou’s side. They’ve won consecutive games for the first time in a month and hope to avoid defeat this evening to secure a spot at Wembley. Follow all the action from Anfield with our live blog below:. Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of tonight’s Carabao Cup action.
