Liverpool will aim to respond to their Premier League setback against Manchester United with a resounding performance and victory when they go to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup first leg on Wednesday – with memories of last month’s big win there still fresh in the mind.
The stats suggest the Reds will cause serious problems for Spurs’ depleted backline – just as they did when they hit six goals in north London in December.
Liverpool may have been pegged back for a 2-2 draw by Manchester United on Sunday but they once again produced a threatening attacking display, with 19 shots at Anfield.
In fact, their Expected Goals total of 2.8 means they are averaging 2.36xG per game in the Premier League this season.
That is far and away the most of any side in the division.
