Liverpool vs Spurs Carabao Cup details confirmed including date and TV channel

Liverpool are the record ten-times League Cup winners but, if the Reds are going to reach Wembley next March, they will have to overcome a challenging first hurdle.

Due to scheduling conflicts, the Reds cannot face another side competing in the Champions League or Europa League at this juncture of the Carabao Cup. Thus, landing Tottenham Hotspur was one of the tougher ties Andoni Iraola's side could have got, albeit at least it is at Anfield.

Well, on Friday the date of this cup tie was confirmed by the EFL. Liverpool will face Spurs on Wednesday 16 September, with kick off at 8pm (BST). The match will be live on Sky Sports Main Event and ITV1 in the UK, as well as CBS Sports Golazo and Paramount+ in the U.S..
