Liverpool seeks to bounce back from their Premier League draw against Manchester United with a strong performance against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup first leg. The Reds' potent attack, led by Mohamed Salah, is expected to exploit Tottenham's thin backline.
Liverpool will aim to respond to their Premier League setback against Manchester United with a resounding performance and victory when they go to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup first leg on Wednesday - with memories of last month's big win there still fresh in the mind. The stats suggest the Reds will cause serious problems for Spurs' depleted backline - just as they did when they hit six goals in north London in December.
Stand-in goalkeeper Fraser Forster was laid low by a bug, which also affected centre-backs Archie Gray and Radu Dragusin, who was forced off at half-time. Regular left-back Destiny Udogie is still out with injury and his replacement Djed Spence later had to fill in at centre-back. First-choice centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven remain sidelined and Ben Davies is still unavailable. Newcastle took advantage. They scored twice from an xG total of 2.45.
