Tottenham secured their spot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals with a thrilling 4-3 victory over Manchester United on Thursday night. The draw for the last four was made soon after, setting up a mouth-watering contest.

Tottenham faces a challenging match against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-finals. If both Arsenal and Spurs win, fans could witness a North London derby final. Spurs, the reigning Carabao Cup champions, earned their spot with a tough victory over Southampton. The upcoming tie promises to be difficult as Liverpool, currently in strong form, will be a formidable opponent for Arne Slot’s team.
Tottenham will face the League leaders two times in the span of two weeks
The Carabao Cup semi-final first legs will take place in early January, with the second legs following in February. Tottenham’s upcoming match against Liverpool on December 22nd offers a chance for Postecoglou to experiment with tactics for the semi-final. However, with Spurs sitting 10th and Liverpool top of the table after 16 games, the challenge is steep. Despite the thrilling 4-3 win over Manchester United, which saw Solanke and Kulusevski score before defensive blunders from Forster and Bayindir, Tottenham will need to improve to compete with Liverpool.
Liverpool, currently regarded as the best team in the world, have proven their worth with impressive performances in the Premier League and beyond. With an unbeaten streak since their loss to Nottingham Forest, they will present Tottenham with their toughest challenge yet. The December 22nd fixture will be a true test of Postecoglou’s tactical ability and a crucial battle in Tottenham’s efforts to compete in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
