• Liverpool 1-0 down to Spurs before semi-final second leg
• Slot has never previously been to the national stadium

Arne Slot has said he would like his Liverpool tenure to be assessed based on the team’s style and entertainment value but accepts his time on Merseyside will be defined by the trophies he wins. The Dutchman is hoping to kickstart a new era of ­success by booking his first trip to Wembley.

The Liverpool head coach has never watched a game at the national stadium, let alone managed there, but has the chance to lead his team at Wembley next month if they can overcome a 1-0 first-leg deficit in the Carabao Cup against Tottenham on Thursday.
