London - Ten days after Liverpool lost their unbeaten Premier League record at White Hart Lane, they have their chance for revenge as they return to face Tottenham in the fourth round of the Carling Cup. Liverpool have bounced back from that defeat, beating West Brom 3-0 on Saturday to remain level on points at the top of the Premier League.
Forward Robbie Keane scored twice, his first Premier League goals since moving from Tottenham, and he is relishing the return to his former club.
"The manager always had confidence in me, and I always knew the goals would come," he said.
"Maybe it has taken me a while, and sometimes it takes a bit longer to get to know the play.
"It has taken me longer than I had hoped, but with every game I am getting more confident. The evidence was there for everyone to see."
They face a side transformed since Harry Redknapp replaced Juande Ramos as coach.
When Redknapp arrived, they were bottom of the table with just two points.
Since then, they have beaten Bolton, Liverpool and Manchester City and drawn with Arsenal in the league, and hammered Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Cup.
"I'm not sure what I have done," said Redknapp.
"I have just got to know them, talked to them and encouraged them. I have told them to be confident.
"We have lots of players who can play and I have tried to make the training ground a brighter place."
The other three members of the Big Four all have home ties.
Arsenal face Wigan on Tuesday, a reprise of their Carling Cup semi-final of three seasons ago, when Wigan emerged triumphant.
Manchester United host Championship side QPR, while Chelsea take on Burnley.
Sunderland and Blackburn, meet at the Stadium of Light in the other all-Premier League tie, with both hoping to cast off dreadful recent records.
Sunderland have lost their last three, while Blackburn are without a win in six.
The other remaining Premier League side, Stoke, are home to Rotherham.
Two of Brian Clough's former sides, Derby and Leeds, meet at Pride Park, while Watford travel to Swansea.
