Liverpool vs Leicester City match preview
Liverpool are the record nine-times League Cup winners, most-recently hoisting aloft this trophy 18 months ago, so will this be the start of another triumphant run?
The Reds are in red-hot form right now, making it five Premier League victories on the spin by swatting aside West Ham on Sunday.
Mohamed Salah converting an early penalty, before Darwin Núñez lashed home a stunning volley, with Diogo Jota making the points secure later on.
Jürgen Klopp’s team have scored 17 goals in their last six matches in all competitions, so appear to be Man City’s most-likely challengers, although the Reds’ title credentials will be tested at Tottenham on Saturday.
Before then, will Liverpool avoid a first third round exit since 2018?
Leicester City meantime, as a Championship outfit these days, have already had to win two ties just to get this far, so far seeing off both Burton Albion and Tranmere Rovers, enjoying 2-0 away wins both times.
This though will be an exponentially tougher test, not least because the Foxes have lost each of their last five visits to Anfield, winless in 13 trips overall, a sequence that dates back to May 2000.
Liverpool required a penalty shootout to overcome Leicester in the League Cup two seasons ago, en route to glory at Wembley, but the Reds are likely to enjoy a much more routine victory this time.
Liverpool team news
Jürgen Klopp named a heavily rotated line-up in Linz last Thursday, as his side came from a goal down to beat LASK in the Europa League, with a similar XI likely to be on show here.
This’ll include Caoimhín Kelleher in goal; he was the hero in the penalty shootout when these two clubs last met in the Carabao Cup.
Stefan Bajčetić filled-in at right-back in Austria, and could be asked to do something similar here, given that Trent Alexander-Arnold is not yet back to full fitness.
Having made his Premier League debut at Molineux, Jarell Quansah is also set to feature in defence.
There could also be another start for teenager Ben Doak in attack, while Darwin Núñez and Mohammed Salah will surely be saved for Saturday’s visits to Spurs.
Predicted XI (4-3-3): Kelleher; Bajčetić, Quansah, Konaté, Tsimikas; Endō, Gravenberch, Elliott; Doak, Gakpo, Jota.
Leicester City team news
Enzo Maresca aren’t in action again until Sunday, when they visit Blackburn, which might allow him to pick a strong line-up.
Wout Faes could appear at Anfield for the first time since scoring two own goals in the space of just seven minutes last December.
Mads Hermansen is very much the first-choice goalkeeper, but Jakub Stolarczyk could start, having done so in the previous two rounds.
In attack, Jamie Vardy has scored ten goals in his career against Liverpool, only netting more frequently against Arsenal, so could continue to lead the line, chosen over Kelechi Ịheanachọ
Predicted XI (4-3-3): Stolarczyk; Ricardo, Faes, Coady, Justin; Winks, Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall; McAteer, Mavididi, Vardy.
