Carabao Cup QF: Ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to Anfield for the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals, Ange Postecoglou believes that PL leaders Liverpool will be equally anxious as his team heading into the tie.
“It's a big occasion for everyone. It's a semi-final. I don't think Liverpool will be any less anxious than us. It's a big game for both clubs. You recognise that, you embrace that, but ultimately if you want to be successful these are the games that you want to be involved with because the alternative is, you'll be at home on the couch watching two other teams on the TV wishing you were there."
Spurs do have a huge task on their hands, despite having a 1-0 advantage, with this being Liverpool’s 20th appearance in the final four of the League Cup, only once previously losing both legs of a semi-final (versus Southampton in 2016-17). Since that two-legged defeat to the Saints, the club have progressed from each of their last six major cup competition semi-finals.
