This success follows earlier victories over West Ham and Brighton, showcasing the depth and resilience of Arne Slot’s side. The Dutchman, who currently has Liverpool sitting atop both the Premier League and Champions League tables, has emphasised his commitment to competing on all fronts.

“We have to defend the trophy,” Slot said after the Southampton win. “The club won it last season, and while I wasn’t here, the players and staff deserve this opportunity to compete. We’re thrilled to be in the semi-final.”

Key Fixture Dates Announced

Liverpool’s semi-final against Tottenham will be played over two legs. The first leg takes place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday, 8 January, while the return fixture is set for Thursday, 6 February at Anfield. Both matches are scheduled to kick off at 8 pm GMT and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK.

These fixtures provide a stern test for the record 10-time winners, as Tottenham aim to derail Liverpool’s ambitions. The outcome of this tie will determine who faces either Newcastle United or Arsenal in the final.

Chasing Silverware

Liverpool’s history in the Carabao Cup is unmatched, and their determination to extend that legacy underlines the winning mentality instilled by Slot. As the season’s fixtures pile up, the club remains focused on adding yet another trophy to their illustrious collection.
