Team News and Pundit’s View

Expect rotation from Liverpool after a congested spell. There’s talk that Cody Gakpo could get meaningful minutes up top, while Joe Gomez is understood to be available again, which helps shore up the back line if required. The hosts will fancy setting the tempo early; Anfield on a cup night can smother you if you don’t get your first touch right.

Tottenham, meanwhile, have had a stop-start feel about them and may tweak the wide areas depending on late fitness checks, with right-back still one to watch. Up front, selection calls have been the headline—there’s been chatter about omissions as the manager looks to reset the tone. If Spurs can ride the first 20 minutes and carry a threat on the counter, this is a tie that can swing.

Verdict? Liverpool’s depth and the home crowd make them favourites, but the Carabao Cup has a habit of serving up a sting in the tail. First goal feels massive—if Tottenham nick it, the mood changes in a heartbeat.
