Liverpool have a third Anfield fixture in seven days tonight (in three different competitions) as they welcome Tottenham Hotspur in the third round of the Carabao Cup.The Reds go into the game off the back of a frustrating 0-0 draw at home to Fulham, and having won just two of their first five matches of the season, Andoni Iraola’s side have plenty to prove as they welcome the north Londoners, who’ve yet to score a Premier League goal this term.The Basque already confirmed one line-up change a day in advance of the match, with Giorgi Mamardashvili coming in to start between the sticks and Alisson Becker beginning from the substitutes’ bench.Meanwhile, Spurs head coach Roberto De Zerbi has stated that Liverpool tormentor in chief Richarlison – who’s been omitted from their top-flight squad – won’t be recalled for this game despite being eligible to play in the Carabao Cup.(Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images)Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
