The EFL Cup semi-final first leg will see reigning champions Liverpool go head-to-head with Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday. Given the recent defensive lapses from both sides, an action-packed match is anticipated.
Tottenham Hotspur secured their place in the semi-final following a thrilling 4-3 win against Manchester United in the previous round. However, that marked the end of their winning streak as they've failed to secure a victory in their last four games, including a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United in their most recent Premier League encounter.
This losing streak has brought Tottenham's defensive woes into sharp focus, with the team unable to maintain a clean sheet in their last five matches across all competitions. Moreover, both teams have managed to score in the second half in four of Tottenham's last six home games.
On the other hand, Liverpool advanced to the semi-final after securing a narrow 2-1 win over Southampton, thanks to goals from Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliot. The Reds continue to dominate this season, holding their position at the top of the Premier League while also performing well in other competitions.
Despite starting the season with a robust defence, Liverpool has recently shown signs of struggle, failing to keep a clean sheet in four out of their last five games. Interestingly, most of their games have seen more goals scored in the second half, as observed in five of their last seven away matches across all competitions.
