Liverpool vs Tottenham LIVE: Carabao Cup latest score and updates as Andy Robertson on bench for Anfield return

34 mins: Big cheers for Andy Robertson as he makes his way out of the Spurs dugout to warm up down towards the Anfield Road Stand.

A cherished man in these parts, regardless of the shirt he’s wearing.

33 mins: CHANCE! Another great opportunity for Spurs as it’s fizzed across the area, Mohammed Kudus latches onto it but can’t divert on target, with the ball flying over.

32 mins: I did say it was a wet one – up the other end, Joe Gomez is getting ready for a long throw but his shirt is completely drenched.

With no towels, he requires the assistance of the ball boy to dry the ball. Still, his throw seems to slip out and doesn’t beat the first man.

30 mins: It’s always a concern for Liverpool when they see Joe Gomez go down, and he’s hurt here after a clash of heads with Tosin Adarabioyo.

Luckily just looks like sore one and he’s up and OK to continue.

Here’s Richard Jolly inside Anfield:

28 mins: Omar Marmoush lines up a free-kick from about 25 yards out… he gets it over the wall but bends it over.

The noise is up in Anfield. It could have been silenced had Spurs not fluffed that early chance. But after starting this game the better, they now find themselves with an uphill battle.

26 mins: Tottenham try and loft it through to the on-running Destiny Udogie, who has found himself at No 9 from left-back – but his attempted chest down is very much akin to that of a defender, and the ball runs away.

Here’s Richard Jolly inside Anfield:

A beauty from Alexis Mac Allister!

Rio Ngumoha tiptoes into the box and while he’s tackled, the ball breaks kindly for Mac Allister to fire into the top-right corner.

20 mins: Mohammed Kudus is bundled over by Milos Kerkez in front of the Tottenham bench, where Andy Robertson watches on.

Kerkez was Robertson’s successor at Anfield but so far, Kudus has had the better of him.
