Spurs have endured an inconsistent season and come into this fixture on the back of a poor run of form having won just two of their last ten games across all competitions.

They have been very porous defensively after conceding in five straight games, keeping just one clean sheet in their last eleven games in all competitions.

Plagued by injuries to the backline, Tottenham have conceded a total of 14 goals in their last five games including a demoralizing 6-3 defeat at home to Arne Slot's Liverpool.

Over 2.5 goals have featured in their last five home games while ten of their last eleven home games in all competitions have seen Both Teams To Score.

All three of Tottenham's EFL Cup fixtures this season have seen Over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the back of the net.

Despite being held to a 2-2 draw in their last match against Man United in the Premier League, Liverpool are having a stellar season.

They are unbeaten in their last 24 games in all competitions having won seven of their last ten matches while scoring goals for fun.

They have scored 2+ goals in six straight matches while over 2.5 goals have featured seven of their last ten games in all competitions.

Liverpool boasts a perfect EFL Cup record this season with three wins from three with all matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
