Liverpool hosts Tottenham Hotspur in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final at the beginning of February and the North London club has fresh injury concerns

Tottenham have been tipped to hire a Premier League manager to replace Ange Postecoglou as the pressure grows on the struggling Spurs boss. The north London club’s dismal form continued on Sunday as they lost 2-1 at home to relegation-battlers Leicester City.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou admitted that his injury-ravaged squad "needs help" in the form of January transfers.

Spurs will miss the services of eight crucial first-team players, namely Dominic Solanke, Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Wilson Odobert,

Ange Postecoglou revealed that Richarlison’s early withdrawal during Tottenham’s loss to Leicester City was due to a problem with the striker’s groin. Richarlison scored his second goal in as many Premier League games to give his side the lead at half-time against Leicester at home.
