Liverpool is down 1-0 in its League Cup semifinal versus Tottenham Hotspur and looks to Anfield for a second-leg boost on Wednesday. How will Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou play this?

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.

Anfield will host the second leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, where the Reds look to come back from a 0-1 defeat in the first leg.

Spurs welcomed back Micky van de Ven for their midweek game in a huge boost for Postecoglou. Richarlison and Pape Sarr also started after recent knocks, while Cristian Romero is back in Tottenham training but is unlikely to be risked.
