Ange Postecoglou has tended to play down the significance of the domestic cups at Tottenham, previously insisting that they were not a quick fix for the club's problems, but the head coach made no attempt to dismiss the potential impact of beating Liverpool on Thursday.
Spurs take a 1-0 lead to Anfield for their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg and, for Postecoglou, reaching Wembley at the expense of Arne Slot's Premier League leaders would be transformative for his young side, particularly as they have already beaten both Manchester clubs in previous rounds.
