Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur reconvene for the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final at Anfield on Thursday night, with the visitors coming into the clash with a 1-0 lead on aggregate.

Liverpool：

Liverpool will aim to overturn their 1-0 deficit when they host Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg at Anfield. Despite a below-par performance in the first leg, Jurgen Klopp’s men remain favorites to reach their 15th final in this competition.

The Reds have been in dominant form at home, going unbeaten in 15 matches since September and scoring at least twice in each of those games. A crucial 2-0 win at Bournemouth over the weekend kept them six points clear at the top of the Premier League, with Mohamed Salah bagging a brace.

With an FA Cup tie at Plymouth and a Merseyside derby against Everton ahead, Liverpool are juggling multiple competitions, but their focus remains on defending the trophy they won last season. Given their home record and attacking firepower, Klopp’s side will back themselves to turn the tie around.

Tottenham Hotspur：

Tottenham enter the second leg with a narrow lead, but history is against them. They have struggled at Anfield, failing to win there since 2011, and their last two EFL Cup semi-finals both ended in defeat despite taking a first-leg lead.

Ange Postecoglou’s side will see this as a golden opportunity to win their first trophy since 2008, especially with Newcastle likely awaiting in the final instead of Manchester City.

Spurs have tightened up defensively, keeping four clean sheets in their last eight games, including against Liverpool in the first leg and Brentford in their 2-0 league win last weekend. Despite missing key players due to injuries, they will hope to frustrate Liverpool again and grind out a result to book their place at Wembley.
