Is Tottenham v Liverpool on TV tonight? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Carabao Cup semi-final
Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping that the Carabao Cup can provide a boost in a difficult period as they take on Liverpool for a place at Wembley.
The league leaders come to London for the first encounter of this two-legged affair, with the winner meeting either Arsenal or Newcastle in the final.
An injury crisis has compounded Spurs’ inconsistency to leave Ange Postecoglou’s side languishing in the league after a run of four games without a win.
While Sunday’s entertaining draw with Manchester United represented a slight slip in their title charge, Liverpool are still riding high as they continue their pursuit of silverware under Arne Slot.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news
Tottenham’s defensive problems show few signs of easing with a makeshift backline again likely to be fielded. New signing Antonin Kinsky has been cleared to feature after receiving a work permit and will contest the starting goalkeeper’s shirt with Brandon Austin, who made a long-awaited senior debut on Saturday. James Maddison is suspended.
Arne Slot was hopeful on match eve that Dominik Szoboszlai would be able to feature after missing the Manchester United draw through illness, though the midfielder is unlikely to start. Amid a busy period, Slot may rest a couple of regular starters as he manages his squad.
Confirmed line-ups
Tottenham XI: Kinsky; Pedro Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Bissouma, Bentancur, Bergvall; Kulusevski, Solanke, Son
Liverpool XI: Alisson; Bradley, Quansah, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Jota, Gakpo
Odds
Tottenham win 4/1
Draw 15/4
Liverpool win 4/6
