Liverpool have a deficit to overturn as they host Tottenham at Anfield tonight in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. Lucas Bergvall’s first ever goal for Spurs proved the difference in the first leg, but Ange Postecoglou and his team still face an uphill task if they are to book their place in the Wembley final.

For a start, Tottenham have an option to buy Tel for £45m – whereas it feels unlikely Chelsea would have allowed such a clause for any loan involving Felix – which gives Spurs assurance they can sign the teenager permanently if he does succeed, rather than improving another club’s player for no long term gain.

Ange Postecoglou persuaded Tel to join Tottenham on deadline day, and may need to drop the French 19-year-old into his starting XI for Thursday night’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Anfield
