Tottenham Hotspur shift their focus to the EFL Cup on Tuesday when they travel to Merseyside to take on Liverpool.
Spurs kicked off their EFL Cup campaign by thrashing Charlton Athletic 5-1 in the second round. Bar five goals in the cup competition, Roberto De Zerbi’s side have failed to score a goal in their Premier League campaign thus far. It is for the first time in the club’s history that we have failed to trouble the scorers across 360 minutes of league action, following the 0-0 draw with Everton at the weekend.
The Lilywhites will want to break the goal drought when they visit Liverpool, who come into this game off the back of a 0-0 draw with Fulham at the weekend.

TTLB prediction for Liverpool vs. Tottenham
After defeats to Brentford and Newcastle United, De Zerbi’s side have gradually improved with clean sheets in stalemates with Nottingham Forest and Everton, respectively. However, the major problem lies in scoring goals, something De Zerbi is desperately seeking a solution for.
Tottenham come up against a Liverpool side that were frustrated by rock-bottom Fulham at the weekend. Andoni Iraola’s side found a way to beat Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last week but got tamed by a resilient Fulham side, who earned their first point of the season under new boss Alvaro Arbeloa.
Nonetheless, we feel it will be difficult for the Lilywhites to go past Liverpool in the EFL Cup. We have won just once in last 10 encounters against the Reds in all competitions, which makes Iraola’s unbeaten side overwhelming favourites to progress into fourth round of the EFL Cup.
