The Reds will have a sense of injustice heading into the second leg of their semi-final with Tottenham as they trail 1-0 after Lucas Bergvall scored a late winner in the first encounter almost a month ago.

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.

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.

Chelsea have been told exactly what they must do to beat Liverpool to the signing of a player who has been tipped to replace Mohamed Salah next season. The winger is set to leave Anfield on a free transfer in the summer unless the Reds can find a breakthrough in talks over a new contract.
