Mauricio Pochettino is anticipating a tough trip to Anfield in the EFL Cup, with Liverpool free from the rigours of European competition.

Spurs travel to Anfield on Tuesday for a fourth-round EFL Cup tie after the Merseyside club beat West Brom 2-1 at the weekend to climb above them in the Premier League table.
