Preparing for a match that could be a defining one in his Tottenham reign, there's no hint of trepidation from Ange Postecoglou as he looks forward to stepping into the Liverpool's fearsome Anfield den with a place in a Wembley Cup final on the line.

That doesn't bode well in a match that shapes as critical for Postecoglou after Spurs' recent travails.
