Tottenham take on Liverpool tonight in a semi-final first leg in, arguably, the biggest game of their season so far. Spurs are in a difficult run of results with five defeats and just two victories in their last 10 matches while Liverpool have not lost since mid-September.
Arne Slot's side did suffer a surprise result this past weekend with Manchester United picking up a point at Anfield and they were perhaps unfortunate to not claim all three. Prior to that, Liverpool had won 12 of their last 14 games with one of those triumphs coming at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Two weeks on from that stunning 6-3 win, Liverpool are back in north London for the first leg of a cup semi-final with the second leg not for another four weeks. Arsenal and Newcastle are the other teams in the last four - with the latter taking a big step towards a spot in the final after beating Arsenal 2-0 away from home on Tuesday night.

The Sweden international has been Spurs' most important player this season and therefore seems destined for another start, likely in midfield because of Maddison's absence.
Son, meanwhile, despite being the club captain, was named on the bench against Newcastle, but he is very much expected to return to the starting XI for the visit of Liverpool.
