Tottenham defender Djed Spence said he is confident in his ability to stop Mohamed Salah from scoring in Thursday's Carabao Cup semifinal.

Mohamed Salah will be key to Liverpool's chances of beating Tottenham in the Carabao Cup and the forward could also break a major personal milestone in the process

Spence helped to keep Salah quiet as Spurs won the first leg 1-0 in north London last month and the 24-year-old, who has been deputising at left-back for Ange Postecoglou's depleted side, is likely to be in direct competition with the Egyptian again at Anfield.

Liverpool and Tottenham battle for the final slot at Wembley as they meet in the second leg of their semifinal matchup, with Newcastle United waiting in the wings for whoever emerges.

Liverpool overturned a first-leg deficit to reach the League Cup final with a 4-0 win on Thursday and ramp up the pressure on Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou.

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg of their semi-final, Liverpool delivered a commanding performance at a vibrant Anfield to secure their place in the final. The Reds will now aim to defend their title when they face Newcastle United at Wembley on March 16.

Mohamed Salah will be hoping to fire Liverpool into the Carabao Cup final tomorrow. His direct opponent is plotting to shut him down, though it won't be that simple.
