However, in his Betfair column, Shearer criticized the current state of Spurs and predicted that Liverpool will add to their woes this weekend.

"That will be pretty embarrassing for any Spurs fan to read but unfortunately, it's reality.

It would be a remarkable situation with how bad they've been in the league that they could go on and actually win that competition."

Indeed, Tottenham has endured a tough time against Liverpool this season, experiencing heavy defeats of 6-3 in the Premier League and 4-0 in the League Cup semi-final second leg, although they secured a surprise victory over the Reds in the first leg of the same competition.
