Liverpool XI vs Tottenham: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Carabao Cup | OneFootball

Reds have almost clean bill of health heading into semi-final at Spurs

Liverpool were boosted by the returns of two key defenders ahead of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final showdown at Tottenham.

Having both available gives Arne Slot options, particularly at right-back. While Trent Alexander-Arnold is undoubtedly the first-choice there, his performance against United was heavily criticised amid transfer interest from Real Madrid.

Bradley is at least an option to come into the side, although the England international is expected to start.

Dominik Szoboszlai missed Sunday's game due to illness so is a slight doubt. Joe Gomez looks the only certain absentee following the hamstring injury he suffered against West Ham in late December.

Darwin Nunez was booked against United and will miss Liverpool’s next Premier League match, but is available here.
