Arne Slot has named a strong lineup for Liverpool’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Tottenham, with Conor Bradley making four changes And Diogo Jota begins.

For the second time in less than three weeks the Reds are back at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but this time they want to get one foot into the Carabao Cup final.

In the backline, Bradley replaces Trent Alexander-Arnold and is supported by Jarell Quansah, Virgil van Dijk And Kostas Tsimikas.

Ryan Gravenberch makes his fifth consecutive start and first in the competition this season and is supported by Alexis Mac Allister And Curtis Jones – Dominik Szoboszlai remains absent due to illness.

Mohamed Salah remains an immovable force on the right wing and accompanies Cody Gakpo And Iota In attack, the latter is in the starting line-up for the first time since his rib injury in October.

It’s a strong lineup from Slot, who also has a deep bench to rely on with players like Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez among his nine backup options.
