Prediction
- Liverpool hold a slender advantage coming into this fixture and will progress to the final if they avoid defeat to Stoke on Tuesday night. Confidence is high following their exhilarating 5-4 win over Norwich on Saturday.
- Conversely, Stoke’s morale will be low following a comprehensive loss to Leicester at the weekend. They need to put in a spirited showing at Anfield if they are secure a final berth, though that’s easier said than done – the Potters have failed to win any of their last six competitive visits to Liverpool, losing four.
