Betting Preview
Nearly a month has passed since Lucas Bergvall’s late winner secured Spurs a first-leg advantage in this semi-final, a match marred by controversy. Just before his decisive goal, Bergvall was fortunate to avoid a second yellow for a late challenge on Kostas Tsimikas. Meanwhile, Liverpool and Arne Slot struggled to find their rhythm in North London.
Few expect anything other than a Liverpool comeback at Anfield, as they chase a record 15th EFL Cup final appearance. The Reds, defending their crown from last season, must overturn a one-goal deficit. Given their formidable home form – unbeaten in 15 with at least two goals in each match, they remain favourites.

A crucial 2-0 win at Bournemouth kept Liverpool six points clear at the top of the Premier League and capped a strong week following their first-place finish in the Champions League league phase. With a packed schedule ahead, including an FA Cup tie at Plymouth and the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, this fixture is pivotal in their quadruple pursuit.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to miss out after a thigh injury at Bournemouth, but scans showed no serious damage. With Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones returning, Liverpool are close to full strength, barring Joe Gomez. Robertson and Tsimikas battle for the left-back spot, while Jones and Szoboszlai vie to start in midfield.

Ange Postecoglou expects Udogie, Vicario, Johnson, Odobert, and Werner to return soon, but Romero and Solanke remain sidelined.
