Liverpool ace confident ahead of Spurs clash

Carragher believes they can manage to beat Spurs without Steven Gerrard.

The Reds managed to beat Spurs 2-0 at Anfield last season, without both Gerrard and Fernando Torres.

“There’s no doubt Steven will be missed whether we win, lose or draw because he is such an important player here,” said Carragher.

“Everyone knows what great quality Steven has got and it’s frustrating for everyone, though nobody more than him, that he is out because he has been in such good form.

“But it’s up to us to perform well and lessen the impact, like when we beat Spurs in January without him and Fernando.

“There are a few similarities because that game came a few days after a disappointing result against Stoke when we drew 1-1, but we showed we could bounce back.”
