Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is likely to start against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-final. Reds boss Arne Slot was non-committal when asked about his starting XI.
Caoimhin Kelleher is likely to start in goal for Liverpool against Tottenham in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday. Reds boss Arne Slot was unusually tight-lipped when asked if Kelleher would be preferred to Alisson . Kelleher has been Liverpool 's go-to goalkeeper in this competition, saving and scoring penalties in their 2022 final win against Chelsea. Two of his 13 first-team appearances this season have come in the League Cup, against West Ham and Southampton.
Vitezslav Jaros started against Brighton while Kelleher deputized for Alisson during his injury absence, but a start for Jaros would be a surprise. So too would Alisson's inclusion in the League Cup. It seems likely Kelleher will continue his run, appearing for the 14th time this season. Despite normally being open about his goalkeeper choices, Slot remained ambiguous when questioned on Tuesday, stating he had already decided the lineup but wouldn't reveal it. When asked about Kelleher's League Cup history, Slot said: 'Yeah, I know but I said many times that there are many things going into a lineup.
