Unexpectedly, Liverpool will enter their EFL Cup match with Tottenham trailing by a goal after the first leg but with home-field advantage to look to make up for that. Tottenham chase their first major trophy since winning the EFL Cup in 2008 and could be 90 minutes away from the final as these two meet in their semifinal second leg.

Liverpool welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Merseyside with their EFL Cup semi-final looking finely poised. Lucas Bergvall scored a late winner for Spurs when these sides met in the first leg in London last month. It is a slender advantage for Spurs against a table-topping Liverpool side who are in superb form and usually formidable at home.

In a lot of ways, it would be easy to write off Tottenham Hotspur. Between their seemingly never-ending injury crisis and an impressive ability to drop points from winning positions, their 14th-place standing in the Premier League means they embody the underdog more than they usually would against Liverpool on Thursday.
