Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili will make his first appearance of the current season in the Carabao Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur. Manager Andoni Iraola spoke highly of the Georgian international, revealing that he had previously attempted to sign him for Bournemouth.

Youngsters Lewis Koumas and Trey Nyoni are among those in contention for a start, alongside Wataru Endo, Jeremie Frimpong, and Cody Gakpo. Iraola emphasized the importance of understanding player robustness for managing game time effectively.
Regarding the team's recent struggles with creating chances, Iraola explained that winning the ball deeper on the pitch made attacking more difficult. He stressed that collective defensive efforts, particularly winning the ball higher up the pitch, are key to enabling midfielders to perform better.
