Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur Lineups: Liverpool are set to host Tottenham Hotspur FC at Anfield on September 15 in a blockbuster Carabao Cup third-round contest, with both sides viewing the knockout competition as an opportunity to build momentum. The Reds will hope home advantage can tilt a potentially tight encounter in their favour.
Liverpool FC are expected to rotate their line-up, giving squad players a chance to impress while keeping one eye on their demanding Premier League schedule. Tottenham Hotspur FC, meanwhile, arrive with their own selection concerns but will be determined to produce a sharper attacking display after a goalless draw against Everton.
The tie could become a test of squad depth, game management and finishing quality. Liverpool’s Anfield advantage makes them favourites on paper, but the Spurs possess enough attacking talent to turn the contest into a stern examination.

Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola is expected to rotate his squad for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup third-round meeting at Anfield, with Giorgi Mamardashvili confirmed to start in goal. Joe Gomez is back in contention after recovering from the muscle problem suffered in pre-season and could make his first appearance of the campaign.
The Reds still have several players unavailable. Conor Bradley remains sidelined with a long-term knee injury and has only recently started ball work. Federico Chiesa, Hugo Ekitike and Giovanni Leoni are also ruled out.

Roberto De Zerbi will also shuffle his pack after Tottenham’s 0-0 draw with Everton. Sandro Tonali is unavailable after sustaining a knock in that game, while Pedro Porro remains absent.
Destiny Udogie has been cleared to return and provides a boost at left-back. However, Spurs remain without Mykhailo Mudryk, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons, leaving De Zerbi with a depleted group as he seeks a stronger attacking display.
