Liverpool vs Tottenham head-to-head: Results in the last 5 meetings
Tottenham Hotspur fans are not particularly enjoying their team's Premier League exploits right now, so will they fare any better in the Carabao Cup? Well, in the previous round, Roberto de Zerbi's side did demolish Charlton Athletic 5-1 at home, albeit two scorers that night, Mikey Moore and Kevin Danso, have both subsequently departed on loan.
In the league meantime, Spurs have not so much as even scored a goal so far, defeated by both Brentford and Newcastle, followed by back-to-back goalless draws with Nottingham Forest and Everton. Thus, the last thing they need right now is a trip to Anfield. Very few of the 6,000 supporters who will be in the Anfield Road end have ever seen their team beat Liverpool on Merseyside, but can they and millions more take any encouragement from the last five meetings with the Reds?

6 February 2025: Liverpool 4-0 Tottenham Hotspur. EFL Cup semi-final second leg.
8 January 2025: Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Liverpool. EFL Cup semi-final first leg. Lucas Bergvall 86'.
The last time these two clubs met in March, despite the fact Arne Slot's side dominated throughout, taking the lead through Dominik Szoboszlai's free-kick, Richarlison struck right at the death to pinch a point for Spurs that would prove crucial in the relegation battle.
This was the Brazilian's sixth career goal against Liverpool, the joint-most he has managed against any single opponent. However, Richarlison will not be adding to that tally on Tuesday, having been completely frozen out. He is not even in Spurs' Premier League squad, so is eligible to feature in EFL Cup matches, but surely will not do so.
That draw is about as good as it has got for Spurs in this fixture in recent times. The pair did actually meet in the League Cup two seasons ago, doing so at the semi-final stage. Ange Postecoglou's side won 1-0 in the first leg in North London, in dramatic fashion. Lucas Bergvall should have been sent off, but escaped punishment, only to pop up with the winner soon after.
Nevertheless, four weeks later at Anfield, Liverpool crushed Postecoglou's team, who put in an embarrassing display, prevailing 4-0 to reach Wembley. Including this game, Spurs are winless in 17 visits to Anfield, losing 12 of them, winning there only once in 30 attempts since a Worthington Cup tie in 1998. If you're looking for a good omen, led by George Graham, Spurs actually won the competition that season.
Nevertheless, Tottenham's sole success at Anfield this century came in May 2011. That day, Harry Redknapp's team got the better of Kenny Dalglish's side, prevailing 2-0, thanks to goals from Rafael van der Vaart and Luke Modrić, who were not bad, were they?
In more recent times, Liverpool have won 14 of their last 20 clashes with Spurs, losing only two, including a 6-3 victory in North London just before Christmas 2024. It is tough to forecast what the pair will serve up on Tuesday night, but a Tottenham win would certainly be a turn up for the books.
