Liverpool can move a step closer to defending their Carabao Cup title and winning a first trophy under Arne Slott when they visit Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.
The Reds travel to north London for the first leg of their semi-final Beat Tottenham 6-3 in the English Premier League Just three days before Christmas. A similarly emphatic victory would put them in a commanding position to reach the big event for the third time in four seasons.
Slot has been fortunate with injuries over the festive period, with Joe Gomez the only confirmed absentee for the trip to Tottenham. Liverpool are poised to capitalize on their unlucky opponents, who have seen their squad decimated by fitness issues this season.
Here's how Liverpool He could line up at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Goalkeeper: Kevin Kelleher – Kelleher was the preferred goalkeeper in Carabao Cup He may retain the starting berth in the final stages. There aren't many better representatives in English football than Liverpool's 62nd.
Right-back: Connor Bradley – After Trent Alexander-Arnold's shock at the weekend against Manchester United With ongoing discussions surrounding his future, the right-back may be taken out of the limelight on Wednesday. Bradley is an excellent backup option after just returning from injury.
Centre-back: Jarrell Quansah – Ibrahima Konate also returned against Manchester United, but the Frenchman is unlikely to feature in back-to-back matches so soon after his return, especially given his fitness record. Quansah could handle the job, even if he fails to impress under Slot.
Centre-back: Virgil van Dijk – Van Dijk often looked flustered by his fellow defenders at the weekend and will want a stronger performance from his team-mates against Tottenham. The Dutchman will be tested by former teammate Dominic Solanke in the capital.
Left-back: Kostas Tsimikas – Andy Robertson's form has been patchy this season and he played a large number of games over the festive period. He could be replaced by Tsimikas, who will be busy with Brennan Johnson.
DM: Ryan Gravenberch – The Dutch midfielder will be tasked with keeping the indefatigable Dejan Kulusevski calm, something that proved difficult during Liverpool's win over Tottenham in December.
DM: Alexis McAllister – McAllister scored an opportunistic header in a six-goal win last month and was in strong creative form. He has provided three assists in his last three appearances for the Reds, splitting the Manchester United defense with an excellent pass as Liverpool equalized at the weekend.
RW: Mohamed Salah – Al-Masry continued his excellent scoring record against Manchester United At the weekend he is ready to do the same against Tottenham. He has scored 14 goals and provided four assists in 21 meetings, including four goal contributions in December.
AM: Curtis Jones – Dominik Szoboszlai, who starred in this match at the end of last year, is doubtful to feature due to illness, meaning Jones could get the nod. He wasn't at his best against Manchester United, but he will be keen to provoke a misguided Spurs defence.
Left wing: Cody Jacobo – The impressive Dutch forward has scored four goals and two assists in his last six appearances, although he was one of the few not to score or assist against Tottenham recently.
Striker: Diego Jota – Jota has not started for the Reds since returning from injury in December, and such has been the impressive form of Jacobo and Luis Diaz. However, he could feature in Wednesday's game, with Diaz rested and Darwin Nunez struggling for form.
