Liverpool vs Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg is set for Thursday, as the Reds fight for their place in the final.
Liverpool will take on Tottenham Hotspur this week to determine who will progress to the final of the Carabao Cup. The Reds will be looking to defend their title, having beaten Chelsea last year to win their final trophy under Jurgen Klopp.
It’s all to play for on Thursday, as Liverpool have a slim 1-0 deficit to make up at Anfield. Spurs will make the trip to Merseyside for the 8pm clash and will be hoping to topple the reigning champions and book their ticket to the final.
Who is the referee for Liverpool vs Tottenham in the Carabao Cup?
Pawson’s last match in charge was during Bournemouth’s 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. The 45-year-old dished out five yellow cards during the clash, continuing a recent pattern of showing three or more cards during his last six games.
In this time, Pawson has shown 30 cards, including a red, and has awarded two penalties. The sending off came during Tottenham’s away defeat against Nottingham Forest. Djed Spence was given his marching orders in stoppage time after picking up a second yellow.
Pawson has refereed a Liverpool match on 39 occasions throughout his career. His last game in charge was last season in their 3-1 win against Fulham.
Tottenham’s Recent Form Ahead of Carabao Cup Semi-Final vs Liverpool
Tottenham have hit some form ahead of their visit to Anfield this week. Ange Postecoglou’s side will enter the fixture with two strong results under their belt, most recently their 2-0 win over Brentford in the Premier League.
However, Spurs’ general run of form has been far from ideal this season. They currently sit down in 14th in the league table, with just 27 points on the board, one more than Everton.
Spurs have dropped points in a number of surprise scenarios this season. Along with a 2-2 draw to Wolves, they’ve lost to Leicester City, Everton, and Ipswich Town. However, they have enjoyed some statement performances, including a 4-0 and 2-1 over Manchester City in both the Premier League and Carabao Cup.
Meanwhile, Liverpool will enter the clash following their 2-0 win over Bournemouth at the weekend. The victory keeps the Reds six points clear of closest Premier League rivals Arsenal, with a game in hand still to play against Everton in the rescheduled Merseyside Derby.
