We’re expecting goals from Liverpool’s League Cup clash with Tottenham, especially given an astonishing statistic attributed to the Reds’ opponents.
Liverpool heads to north London for the first leg of their semi-final clash, as Arne Slot aims to claim his first trophy as head coach.
The Premier League leaders are favorites to advance over the two legs, and a win would match a piece of club history. If successful, Liverpool will reach a second consecutive final in this competition for the first time since they faced Everton in 1984.
In their 19 previous League Cup semi-finals, Liverpool have won the first leg 10 times, drawn four, and lost five.
Liverpool’s Impressive Cup Record Against Spurs
The Reds boast an excellent record against Tottenham in recent years. Liverpool has lost only two of their last 26 meetings with Spurs in league and cup competitions and just one of their last 15.
The two defeats were a 4-1 loss at Wembley in October 2017 and a 2-1 defeat in north London last season, both in the Premier League.
Since a 0-0 draw at White Hart Lane in October 2015—which was incidentally Jurgen Klopp’s first match in charge—Liverpool has scored in 20 successive encounters with Spurs and in 26 of the last 27.
Reds’ Semi-Final Triumphs Over London Teams
Tottenham becomes the sixth London team Liverpool has faced in the League Cup semi-finals. Out of seven previous semi-final ties against clubs from the capital, Liverpool advanced to the final five times.
The Reds were eliminated only twice—by QPR in 1986 and Chelsea in 2015.
Goals Expected in North London
Remarkably, Spurs haven’t played out a goalless draw in any of their last 111 domestic league and cup matches. Their last 0-0 result came against Brentford in the Premier League in April 2022.
Tottenham’s star forward, Son Heung-min, has proven to be a consistent threat against Liverpool. He has scored in six of his last eight matches against the Reds, with seven goals in 17 total appearances. Notably, Son has found the net in five of his last six outings against Liverpool.
Tottenham: Johnson 11, Solanke 11, Maddison 8, Son 7, Kulusevski 7, Sarr 4, Bentancur 2, Bissouma 2, Pedro Porro 2, Lankshear 1, Richarlison 1, Romero 1, Spence 1, Werner 1, own goals 2
Liverpool: Salah 21, Diaz 12, Gakpo 12, Jota 6, Nunez 4, Jones 3, Mac Allister 3, Szoboszlai 3, Konate 2, Van Dijk 2, Alexander-Arnold 1, Elliott 1
