Tottenham’s chances of progressing to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup may have been boosted after Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool update.Spurs fans will want Roberto De Zerbi to take the Carabao Cup seriously, given that the club have no European football this season.However, Tottenham need to pull off a big upset to stay in the competition as they are set to travel to Anfield for the next round.Spurs have the weight of history against them, having not won at Anfield since May of 2011, but they have just been handed a boost by the Liverpool boss’ latest admission.

It’s the worst scenario in terms of schedule, we haven’t been lucky. We are in a position where I have to learn who is ready to play and who is ready to rest so their performance level doesn’t drop.“I had an idea with some of them, but for some of them it is new as they haven’t played as many games before. “I am really happy with the squad. Tomorrow we will see some players we haven’t seen yet – to see whether they can help us.”The Spaniard also confirmed that Alisson Becker will be rested, with number two Giorgi Mamardashvili set to start between the sticks, while also revealing that Joe Gomez will play a part in the clash.He added: “I rate Giorgi very highly, I know him from his years in Spain,” Iraola said on Monday. We tried to sign him for Bournemouth before I came here, he is a very good goalkeeper. He is going to start tomorrow. Joe is training with the team and is available for tomorrow. It’s a matter of deciding how much he can play.”Should Roberto De Zerbi take a risk and play Spurs’ strongest eleven?De Zerbi has also hinted at major changes to his starting eleven for the Carabao Cup clash, admitting that some of his key players who featured against Everton need some time off.However, given that Liverpool are now going to play a weakened side themselves, Spurs could have a decent shot at winning if they play a stronger team.De Zerbi may thus be tempted to keep the likes of Savio, Omar Marmoush, Sandro Tonali, Mathys Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke and Micky van de Ven in the team.However, the Italian would have to weigh that against the risk of injury, and he may proceed with caution, given the injury crises Spurs have suffered over the last couple of years.Injured playerInjuryPotential ReturnWilson OdobertKneeNovember 2026Xavi SimonsKnee2027Mykhailo MudrykAnkleNovember 2026Sandro TonaliKnockUnknownPedro PorroMuscularUnknownDejan KulusevskiFitnessUnknownREAD MORE: Tottenham in advanced talks to sign Piero Ausilio as early January transfer window boostThe post Andoni Iraola could be about to level the playing field for Tottenham after Liverpool reveal appeared first on Spurs Web.
