Liverpool head to North London for the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final against a struggling Spurs side, and the Reds look primed to maintain their phenomenal 24-game unbeaten run in all competitions. Despite seeing their four-match winning streak end at the weekend, Reds boss Arne Slot may opt to field a relatively strong team. Meanwhile, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglu could go full strength in an attempt to turn his side’s form around, as Tottenham have endured three defeats in their last four outings.
Prediction 1: Liverpool to Win (4/5)
Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool Predictions
Liverpool’s astonishing record of 20 wins in their last 24 games underlines their status as favourites. Spurs are winless in four (D1, L3) and face a huge task containing a visiting side that won 6-3 in December’s Premier League clash on this very ground.
Prediction 2: Over 3.5 Goals (2/1)
Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool Predictions
Recent encounters between these sides have been goal-fests. Over 3.5 goals has come in three of the last four meetings, and with Liverpool’s high-intensity attack and Spurs’ defensive frailties, another open contest is likely. This price offers good value given the probability of multiple goals.
Prediction 3: Cody Gakpo to Score Anytime (11/8)
Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool Predictions
Gakpo has found the net four times in this competition and managed a goal in the recent draw with Manchester United. He clearly relishes these big occasions, and a shaky Spurs defence could be the perfect platform for him to add to his tally.
A 3-1 away win is a plausible correct score, considering the attacking potency of the visitors and the fact both teams generally find the net in head-to-head encounters. Even if Liverpool rotate, they should have enough quality to secure a first-leg advantage.
