Liverpool have a great record in this competition recently after going on to win the cup in 2/3 previous seasons. The atmosphere at Anfield will be absolutely electric tonight and will certainly act as a 12th man for the Reds. Currently sat top of the Premier League, Arne Slot’s side have had an incredible first season under the Dutchman. They will be confident of overturning the 1-0 lead and progressing tonight, especially when you factor in their home form. Liverpool have scored 2 or more goals in 14 consecutive home games in all competitions. They have also beaten Spurs in 5/6 previous meetings at Anfield.
Despite a positive win and resolute performance at Brentford at the weekend, Tottenham are having a very poor season and have won just 8 of their previous 22 games in all competitions. A number of injuries has left Spurs vulnerable in defence and having to play most of the season without of their first-choice defenders. Liverpool will be licking their lips at this Spurs defence, a defence they scored 6 against and recorded a huge xG of 4.60 in December.
Mohammed Salah has been electric this season and has a great record with; 25 goals and 17 assists in all competitions. The Egyptian has a brilliant goal scoring record against Tottenham having scored 6 goals against them in his 6 previous appearances. He is the man for a big occasion and tonight is certainly one of those.
