Wed Jan 08 23:44:31 UTC 2025: ## Spurs Debutant Kinsky Starts in Carabao Cup Clash Against Liverpool
**London, January 8, 2025** – Tottenham Hotspur will field a slightly altered lineup for tonight’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Liverpool, featuring a debutant in goal. Manager Ange Postecoglou has made four changes from the weekend’s Premier League match against Newcastle.
Antonin Kinsky will make his Spurs debut and his first appearance in a cup semi-final, a feat last accomplished by goalkeeper Ben Alnwick in 2009. The midfield sees the return of Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma, with Pape Matar Sarr suspended. Heung-Min Son also starts, while Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner begin on the bench.
Another notable inclusion is Yang Min-Hyeok, who makes his first appearance in a Tottenham matchday squad after joining the club earlier this month.
**Tottenham Starting XI:** Kinsky, Pedro Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence, Bissouma, Bentancur, Bergvall, Kulusevski, Solanke, Son (C).
**Liverpool Starting XI:** Alisson, Bradley, Van Dijk, Quansah, Tsimikas MacAllister, Jones, Gravenberch, Gakpo, Jota, Salah.
The match kicks off at 8 pm UK time.
