Liverpool vs Tottenham LIVE: Carabao Cup match stream, latest team news, lineups, TV, prediction

GettyLiverpool host Tottenham in the third round of the Carabao Cup this evening, with both sides looking to improve on their stuttering starts to the new season. The Reds haven’t been beaten under new boss Andoni Iraola yet, but they have looked unconvincing in the draws that they have been held to, particularly against Nottingham Forest and Fulham at home. Spurs, meanwhile, are dealing with the pressure that comes with spending over £300million in one transfer window. No league goals and no wins in the top flight so far have piled the pressure on Roberto De Zerbi, who must deliver after he was heavily backed in the summer. Both managers have hinted at squad rotation here this evening, but this fixture will still be one that both are desperate to win as they both eye their first pieces of silverware as head coaches in the English game. Keep up to date with all the updates from Anfield with our live blog below, including insight and analysis from Sam Tabuteau. Liverpool vs Tottenham latest newsWhere is Richarlison?Richarlison will continue to be left out in the cold despite being eligible for selection in the Carabao Cup.The Brazilian striker repeatedly expressed his desire to leave Spurs this summer and was subsequently left out of the club’s Premier League squad.Richarlison and Spurs tried to facilitate an exit during the closing days of the transfer window, but a move failed to materialise, leaving the former Everton hitman in limbo.PAStandard Sport predictionThis is an interesting one to call, and could come down to how heavily Iraola rotates. Spurs are far more watertight at the back, but are still liable to conceding goals. Should the Reds line up with a near-full strength front three, it could be a long night for the visitors. The north Londoners, by hook or by crook, need to find some goals. Tottenham team newsTottenham will be without Sandro Tonali and Pedro Porro for tonight’s trip to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, while outcast Richarlison remains frozen out after failing to secure a move away from the club.Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that Tonali had picked up a minor knock following the draw with Everton, while Porro is continuing to struggle with a muscular issue that saw him miss out at the weekend.The Spurs boss did, however, reveal that Destiny Udogie was back after being left out of the squad against Everton as a precaution.PALiverpool team news: Youngsters to get a chance?That won’t be the only change to the Reds’ lineup with Iraola hinting that “we will see tomorrow players we haven't seen”.That could be good news for Wataru Endo. The Japanese midfielder is yet to make it onto the pitch this season but has been an unused substitute.Rio Ngumoha looks a likely starter after he came on during the second half against Fulham, while fellow youngsters Trey Nyoni and Lewis Koumas could both make their first starts of the campaign following recent sub roles. GettyLiverpool team newsJoe Gomez is ready to make his return from injury for the hosts tonight.
