Liverpool vs Tottenham preview: What time does it start, is it on TV and where can I watch it live?

A look ahead to the EFL Cup match at Anfield

It’s a big game for…

Daniel Sturridge: The Birmingham-born forward has largely been out of favour under Jürgen Klopp and is yet to get off the mark in the league. However, he did bag a brace against Burton at the Pirelli Stadium in the second round of this season’s competition and will be hoping to continue that form against Spurs.

Best stat…

The last time Tottenham beat Liverpool was in November 2012, which was Gareth Bale’s last season at the club. Bizarrely, he scored at both ends in that game.

Remember when…

Mario Balotelli netted his first Premier League goal for Liverpool in a see-saw encounter, with the Italian tucking home late in the game to secure a 3-2 victory?

Player to watch…

Philippe Coutinho: The Brazilian is the Reds’ top scorer in all competitions with five and had a devastating impact against West Brom on Saturday. His link-up play with Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane is one of the main reasons that the Liverpool faithful are daring to dream of a first Premier League crown.
