Premier League’s leading sides enter the Carabao Cup Round of 16 on Tuesday evening, having been exempted from the first two rounds of the competition. Two fixtures stand out in particular: Liverpool-Tottenham at Anfield and Ipswich-Arsenal, both kicking off at 21:00.

Roberto De Zerbi’s Spurs approach this away trip in a delicate position. Already struggling in the league, Tottenham will have to contend with the pressure of Anfield, even though Liverpool have won just one of their opening four Premier League matches this season — a statistic that offers a window of opportunity for the visitors.

Arsenal, meanwhile, travel to Ipswich for what looks on paper a more straightforward tie, but the Tractor Boys, promoted to the Premier League, will be keen to spring a surprise in front of their home crowd in this competition.

The Carabao Cup, English football’s League Cup, traditionally offers top-tier teams the chance to rotate their squad while maintaining a title objective. For both Tottenham and Arsenal, the stakes also involve restoring confidence to squads still seeking their best form early in the season.
