-----------------------------

Andrew Robertson will face his former club Liverpool at Anfield after returning to Tottenham for the EFL Cup third round. Both sides enter the tie under pressure after disappointing 0-0 draws against Fulham and Everton respectively.

Team Analysis:

Liverpool remain unbeaten but have struggled in attack and midfield, taking six points from four league games despite an impressive Champions League win over Atletico Madrid. Tottenham are in even worse form, sitting 17th with two points and no league goals, while their poor record against Liverpool adds to their problems.

Player Situation:

Liverpool are expected to rotate heavily after a tiring run of matches, with Trey Nyoni, Alexis Mac Allister, Lewis Koumas, Cody Gakpo and Wataru Endo among those likely to feature. Tottenham could field a stronger side under pressure, with Andrew Robertson set to face his former club and Archie Gray likely to continue at right-back.

Result Prediction:

Liverpool may have struggled against Fulham, but Tottenham's growing pressure could make things even harder for Spurs. Even with major rotation, Liverpool are expected to pose the greater attacking threat against a more open Tottenham defence.

Predicted Result: Liverpool 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur.
