Dates and kickoff times confirmed for Carabao Cup semi-finals vs. Tottenham

The dates and kickoff times have now been confirmed for when Liverpool will meet Tottenham over two legs for a place in the Carabao Cup final.

The two teams will meet over two games, with it now been confirmed that the first leg at Tottenham will be held on Wednesday, January 8 at 8pm.

A return to Anfield for the second leg will then take place on Thursday, February 6 at 8pm.

Ange Postecoglou’s side nearly surrendered a 3-0 lead in their quarter-final against Man United before hanging on for 4-3 victory to secure their place in the semi-final.

And they now know first-hand what the Reds are capable of having been on the end of a 6-3 defeat from Slot’s men.
