Liverpool, seeking their third Carabao Cup final in four years, are heavy favorites against Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-final first leg. Despite a recent draw against Manchester United, Liverpool's form significantly outpaces Tottenham's, who are on a four-game winless streak. Liverpool manager Arne Slot has a nearly fully fit squad, with only Joe Gomez sidelined due to injury. Ibrahima Konate, returning from a lengthy injury, is unlikely to play in the match.
Liverpool will put their pursuit of a second Premier League title on the backburner this evening when they switch attention to their defence of the Carabao Cup . Standing in the way of the Reds' third final in four years is top-flight rivals Tottenham Hotspur . Liverpool , who beat Chelsea in the 2024 and the 2022 Wembley showpieces, will be hot favourites.
The only player certain to be missing this evening is versatile defender Joe Gomez , who according to his manager will remain sidelined for a 'few weeks' after picking up an injury in the 5-0 win at West Ham United on December 29. Gomez's absence has been tempered by the return of Ibrahima Konate , who was back in the starting line-up for the big clash with bitter-rivals Man United.
