London: Tottenham is gearing up to host Liverpool for the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final this week. It should be a thrilling match!

Spurs had a nail-biting quarter-final against Manchester United, winning 4-3 at home. But they’re struggling lately, having lost 2-1 to Newcastle just last Saturday.

On the flip side, Liverpool had a smoother ride in their quarter-final, beating Southampton 2-1 while rotating their squad. They’re looking strong in both the Premier League and Champions League.

The match is set for 8 PM GMT on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Make sure to mark your calendars!

If you want to catch the game, it’ll be on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, and Sky Sports Ultra HDR, starting at 7 PM. You can also stream it live on the Sky Go app.

As for team news, Spurs are missing quite a few key players, including Udogie, van de Ven, and Richarlison. They’re hoping new signing Antonin Kinsky can make an impact after joining from Slavia Prague.

Liverpool will be without Joe Gomez, and Dominik Szoboszlai is hoping to return after missing the last game due to illness. Fingers crossed for him!

Looking at past performances, Liverpool thrashed Spurs 6-0 last month, so it’s tough to see Tottenham closing that gap. Many are predicting a 3-1 win for Liverpool.

Historically, Tottenham has 49 wins against Liverpool, while Liverpool has 91. It’s going to be an exciting match-up!

Betting odds show Tottenham at 7/2 to win, a draw at 15/4, and Liverpool favored at 6/10. Good luck if you’re placing any bets!
