The second of the EFL Cup semi-finals gets underway on Wednesday, as Tottenham host Liverpool in North London.
Ange Postecoglou has promised silverware in his second season at the club, and the competition could give the Australian the best opportunity to follow through on that promise.
However, Liverpool have been the dominant force in England and Europe this season, and they will be chasing a response domestically after dropping points at home to Man United on Sunday.
