Liverpool secured a hard-fought 2-1 win against Southampton as they booked their place in the semifinal of the Carabao Cup.

The Reds are one game away from another final and will find out who they face in the semis after Tottenham Hotspur’s clash against Manchester United later today.

First-half goals from Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott did the job for Arne Slot’s side, although Southampton gave a good account of themselves after the interval and threatened to draw level after restoring parity through Cameron Archer.

Liverpool have been on a roll across all competitions since the Dutchman’s arrival and recorded a historic feat after their win last night.

Liverpool make it 20 games unbeaten this season

The Reds have lost just once so far this season as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest at Anfield in mid-September.

Since then, they’ve played out three Premier League draws against the likes of Arsenal, Newcastle United and Fulham but have won each of their 17 other games across all competitions.

After their win against Southampton in the Carabao Cup, Slot’s side became the first Liverpool team since Roy Evans’ side in 1996 to go 20 games unbeaten in a single season, which is a staggering record that shows just how good they’ve been under Slot.

The Reds didn’t even manage to achieve this feat under Jurgen Klopp, so Slot clearly seems to have a magic formula and has made his teams notoriously hard to break down.

What next for Liverpool?

A handful of Liverpool youngsters impressed vs Southampton as Trey Nyoni showed his class with an assured display on his full debut for the club.

Slot was missing from the touchline as he served a one-match ban for accumulating three yellow cards but will return for their Premier League clash against Tottenham on Sunday.

After that, the Reds take on Leicester City at Anfield and West Ham United away from home to wind up the year.

Liverpool have drawn their last two Premier League games and with Chelsea breathing down their necks, they will look to return to winning ways in the competition to get their title challenge back on track.
