Tottenham vs Liverpool Prediction, Lineups and Odds: Gakpo in 9/1 fancy
We’re now counting down the minutes to the second Carabao Cup semi-final first leg between Tottenham and holders Liverpool, which can be viewed live on Sky Sports Main Event at 8pm.
After Newcastle stunned Arsenal at the Emirates last night, we can expect more high-stakes cup drama in the capital tonight in a game that promises plenty of goalmouth action.
Tottenham vs Liverpool Prediction
Liverpool are the firm 6/10 favourites to secure an advantage heading into the return leg at Anfield in February. Under Arne Slot, the Reds have been in scintillating form, winning 23 of their 29 matches across all competitions. They currently sit atop both the Premier League and Champions League standings and remain unbeaten on the road under the Dutchman, with an impressive record of 12 wins from 14 away games.
While Liverpool’s short odds of 6/10 reflect their dominance, the 7/5 on offer for a Liverpool win with both teams to score offers more appeal with BoyleSports. This outcome has occurred 10 times this season, including four of their last seven away fixtures.
Liverpool have been prolific on their travels, netting a staggering 11 goals in their last two away matches, including a comprehensive 6-3 win at Tottenham just before Christmas. In contrast, Spurs are struggling, losing three of their last four games and managing just one win in their last eight home matches. The form and firepower are clearly with the visitors in this capital clash.

Liverpool have rotated heavily so far in this season's competition and with the games coming thick and fast I expect more changes on Wednesday night. However, one player who I can see Slot sticking with is his fellow Dutchman Cody Gakpo, who has been in tremendous form of late.
Gakpo has scored in each of his last three games against Leicester City, West Ham, and Man Utd. Stretching further back, he has 10 goals in his last 15 appearances for the club and two braces in this season's Carabao Cup: in the 5-1 win against West Ham and 3-2 victory at Brighton.
Liverpool are sure to get an abundance of attacking opportunities against a Tottenham defence that have been leaking goals. This porous Spurs side have conceded 17 goals in their last five home games alone, including six against Liverpool two weeks ago. At 13/8 Gakpo looks a decent bet to continue his fantastic form with a goal, while he's 5/2 to score in a Liverpool win, and an appealing price at 9/1 to bag another brace in the competition.
