Liverpool – Stoke City. Laure James’ prediction
Liverpool’s January blues can be summed up by what’s happening at the back. Conceding late goals, particularly from set pieces, is what perhaps threatens to unravel a healthy League Cup run. But now, within touching distance of booking a place at Wembley, Liverpool need to concentrate.
Stoke have never beaten Liverpool in a senior cup tie, in 13 attempts, and are 1-0 down from the first leg, they will be without Ryan Shawcross, yet forwards Marko Arnautovic and Bojan Krkic could start. For the Reds, Nathaniel Clyne is a doubt (knee).
This won’t be the goal-fest we enjoyed against Norwich City. Liverpool will have prioritised their defensive strength – mental, as much as anything – and Stoke will be drilled for the attack. Liverpool to win and both teams to score is available with William Hill at 4.00.
