Liverpool is looking to shake off some serious bad juju this Wednesday as they prepare to face Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup. This match is already being tagged as the “least important competitive match of the season,” but don’t let that fool you. For a Liverpool side coming off a frustrating scoreless draw on the weekend, even a minor cup game can feel like a must-win to turn the tide. They need to find some rhythm, some goals, and some positive momentum against a Tottenham side that’s also been labeled “bad” by the critics.
“Bad Juju” and a “Bad Side” Clash at Anfield
The Reds are walking into this third-round League Cup match at Anfield with a cloud hanging over them. Their last outing saw them locked in a scoreless draw against Fulham, a team explicitly called “bad” in the initial assessment of Liverpool’s weekend struggles. If you can’t get past a bad team, what does that say about your form right now? Now, they’re up against another “bad” side in Tottenham Hotspur, set for a 3 PM EST kickoff on Wednesday, September 15th. It’s a prime opportunity for Liverpool to finally find the back of the net and shake off that frustrating weekend result. The hope is for goals, a simple request that has felt hard-won lately.
Thinking back, it wasn’t that long ago, March 15, 2026, when Florian Wirtz of Liverpool and Dominic Solanke of Tottenham Hotspur were locked in a Premier League battle at Anfield. That history, that rivalry, it always adds another layer, even to a match deemed “least important.” Both teams have something to prove, even if it’s just to themselves, after the early season observations.
Catch All the Action from the Third Round

This Wednesday, even with the “least important” label, both Liverpool and Tottenham have a chance to show what they’re truly made of. For Liverpool, it’s about ditching the “bad juju” and finding some goals. For Tottenham, it’s about proving they’re more than just a “bad side.” Whatever the outcome, fans are hoping for an exciting display of football and, most importantly, goals.
