Tottenham take on the visitors Liverpool in the first leg of English Football League Cup semifinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 8th at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London).
Tottenham are extremely disappointing now. Spurs invited Postecoglou after the failure of 2022/2023. Moreover, Ainge decided to move to London when the captain and scorer, Kane, fled from there. And he was still close to fulfilling the task. Only Emery's peak Aston Villa did not let him into the quartet of leaders. It seemed that they were prepared for the new cycle, did not save money on closing the issue of a center forward - they bought Solanke. But he is still far from Harry, and in general everything began to fall apart, especially under the weight of the injury epidemic. There are more defeats in the Premier League than victories, and since the beginning of winter they have only won against Southampton. And the defeat to Newcals was the third in the last four matches. But at the same time, it is the League Cup that is an outlet, they knocked out City and Manchester United there, among others.

Liverpool ended a long and successful era of Klopp. Jurgen gave advance notice of his desire to leave, moreover, he left the team in good shape, in 3rd place in the Premier League and won the League Cup. And Arne Sloth was chosen very long and carefully, and the composition of the Merseysiders was preserved as much as possible. But no one expected such convincing results. In 2024, under the Dutchman, there was only one defeat, at home to Nottingham Forest, and 3 draws. In the Premier League, the gap is close to ten points, and in the Champions League, there is a 100% result with 6 wins. 2025 began with a confrontation with Manchester United. And it almost ended in a misfire - not without difficulty, they brought it to 2-2.
6-3 last month was the fourth victory for the Reds in the last five head-to-head matches. The Reds will not let a victory slip away in the second match in a row, especially since the opponent has plenty of problems. We are betting on the victory of the visitors.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win.
