Tottenham is set to play the second leg of the 2024-2025 League Cup semifinals against Liverpool at 5 a.m. on the 7th (Korea time). Earlier, Tottenham won 1-0 in the first game on the 9th of last month.
It is the last chance for Tottenham to turn this season around. Except for winning the League Cup, there is no chance to win for sure. Tottenham won the League Cup four times (1970-1971, 1972-1973, 1998-1999 and 2007-2008) and the last major trophy was also the League Cup. Son Heung-min also had a hard time at the last threshold. Although he reached the final during the 2020-2021 season, Jose Mourinho was replaced just before the final, and he lost to Manchester City 0-1 in a chaotic atmosphere and had to swallow the pain of being runner-up.
Son Heung-min has strongly expressed his will to win the championship through recent interviews. He said "I think every game is incredibly precious and it's a final. I'm playing with that kind of mind. Liverpool away game is even more special. It is only one step away from the League Cup final. I hope we prepare well and get good results to create a situation where we can go to Wembley (the venue for the Carabao Cup final). Not only me, but all the players have to be together and prepare well" he said.
As Son Heung-min, it is bound to be a dream goal. He always failed to take a step forward in the final moments, such as the European Champions League final and the League Cup final. Therefore, it seems that Son Heung-min even gave a strong voice to the team ahead of the second leg of the semifinal.

According to the supercomputer, Liverpool has a 73.3 percent chance of winning. Considering the extra time and penalty shootout, Liverpool's probability of winning is 61.3%. Tottenham's chances of advancing are predicted to be 38.7%...' he said, giving Liverpool the upper hand.
Considering the situation of the two teams this season, it is a natural evaluation. Liverpool is leading the English Premier League (EPL) with overwhelming momentum this season. Tottenham, on the other hand, are having a difficult time in 14th place in the league. Liverpool is also superior in recent performance.
Tottenham also has a disappointing variable. It is a matter of injury to the defense. With Radu Dragusin out for the season with a cruciate ligament injury, coach Enze Postecoglou said, `I think we should be more conservative about Panderpen and Romero. Panderpen finished well, but I don't think he's ready to play in the EPL yetIt is difficult for Panderpen to play. The game against Liverpool, which is played without the main defender, inevitably requires more concentration and players' performance.
If you beat Liverpool, the final opponent is Newcastle, which beat Arsenal 4-0 in total in the first and second games. Newcastle is not an easy opponent either. However, if we beat Liverpool, the strongest team in the league, we can fully expect to win. Tottenham's fate will be determined by Son Heung-min's second game against Liverpool.
