Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are looking to reach a second successive League Cup final, but know that they will need to be at their best to overcome Tottenham on Tuesday.

The Reds beat West Brom 2-1 at Anfield on Saturday, which was their fifth win in six Premier League matches, and a result which lifted them up to third in the table, ahead of Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs.

Tottenham could only draw at Bournemouth in the early kick-off on Saturday, which means that they have failed to win their last two league matches, and have slipped to fifth as a result.

Nevertheless, the League Cup takes priority this week, and this clash at Anfield could prove to be one of the ties of the last 16.

Both sides will likely make changes to the starting eleven, with both teams back in action in the Premier League on Saturday, and this may give some fringe players an opportunity to stake a claim for a first team spot.

Here are THREE Liverpool players who deserve a chance against Spurs on Tuesday…

Divock Origi has been restricted to seven substitute appearances in the Premier League this season, although should get a chance to build on his two goals in two League Cup games this campaign by appearing on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old scored the opener in the 5-0 win over Burton Albion and then the last of the three in the victory at Derby, and deserves an opportunity to show Klopp what he can do against higher calibre opposition on Tuesday.

The excellent form of Philippe Coutinho, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firmino has made it difficult for the Belgian forward to get into the side, but a good performance against Spurs on Tuesday may give Klopp something to think about going forward.

Ragnar Klavan

It seems that Klopp has decided upon Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip as his first-choice central defenders, but he should give Ragnar Klavan a chance against Spurs this week.

The Estonia international started the first few games of the season but suffered a knee injury whilst on international duty back in September, and hasn’t reclaimed his place in the starting eleven due to the good form of the aforementioned two.

Nevertheless, Klopp needs to know that he can rely on Klavan if he is ever called upon to replace either Lovren or Matip, and a game against a top side like Tottenham could provide the Liverpool boss with an answer.

Danny Ings

It has been a tough time of late for Liverpool’s Danny Ings, who deservedly earned a move to Anfield after a number of excellent performances for Burnley.

The Englishman netted 11 goals for the Clarets in the 2014/15 season, and moved to Merseyside in that summer looking to build upon his great form.

However, despite netting three goals in his first eight appearances for the Reds, he suffered a nasty injury in October 2015, which all but ruled him out for the rest of the season.

As he looks to prove his fitness to Klopp, a run-out against a decent Spurs team would do him the world of good.
