L

iverpool begin their Carabao Cup campaign at home to Leicester tonight.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are unbeaten in the Premier League and he’s even vowed to take the Europa League seriously, such is the strength of his squad.

Domestic cup competitions haven’t always been the top of his agenda during his time at Anfield but there’s a real feeling of optimism this season, as well as options throughout his squad.

Leicester, meanwhile, have hit the ground running in the Championship following their relegation last season and surely have more pressing promotion matters at hand.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Liverpool vs Leicester team news

Klopp will more than likely ring the changes, particularly with such a big game away at Tottenham to come on Saturday.

Harvey Elliott, Wataru Endo and Stefan Bajčetic could all feature, along with Ibrahima Konate. Trent Alexander-Arnold is back in training but seems unlikely to be risked.
