Tottenham’s League Cup record against Liverpool suggests they are capable of pulling off a major upset at Anfield on Tuesday.
Tottenham Hotspur’s attention is set to turn away from the Premier League to the Carabao Cup this midweek as games continue to come thick and fast.
The last time in the League Cup, Spurs were rampant in their display against Championship side Charlton Athletic, beating them 5-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Those five goals currently stand as the only goals scored by the Lilywhites this season in a competitive game, as they remain without a goal in the Premier League.

Tottenham’s record against Liverpool in the League Cup
Up next in round three of the Carabao Cup is a clash against Liverpool at Anfield. It is sure to be a big test for Spurs, who would be aiming to go deep in the competition this term.
But given Tottenham’s struggles in the Premier League so far this season, not many would fancy their chances against the Reds.
However, based on their previous head-to-head outings in the League Cup, Tottenham do stand a chance against Liverpool.
The two sides have met ten times in the competition, and Spurs have come out with a win five times, while Liverpool have managed four wins, with one ending in a draw.
