Liverpool took their 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Tottenham personally.

They have won five of their seven games since, their only defeat coming at PSV in the Champions League when they had already progressed to the next round of the competition.

They finished top of the Champions League group, they are six points clear at the top of the Premier League, they have a very winnable FA Cup tie against Plymouth at the weekend, so the quadruple is still on – if they beat Spurs at Anfield.

Having ended Bournemouth’s unbeaten streak on the south coast at the weekend, Arne Slot’s side will feel confident about overturning the one-goal deficit from the first leg.
