Liverpool vs Leicester City Live News Lineup
Liverpool vs Leicester City Live News Lineup
Liverpool returns to action tonight when they take on Leicester City in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup at Anfield.
Fabinho, Curtis Jones, Virgil van Dijk and Thiago Alcantara are all expected to miss the game after testing over positive for covid over the past week.
Jordan Henderson was also absent for the 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday with a cold – but could return for tonight’s game.
However, Divock Origi, Nathaniel Phillips, Harvey Elliott and Adrian will all miss the clash at Anfield due to injury.
Kicking off at 8.45 pm, Paul Gorst, Ian Doyle and Theo Squires will all be providing live updates on the action as well as bringing you team news, analysis and reaction.
Team news shortly…
Team news is on its way shortly, but what kind of lineup are we expecting tonight?
I think it could be a good chance to get some minutes in the legs of Roberto Firmino and Joe Gomez is almost nailed on to start, isn’t he?
Neco Williams, Kostas Tsimikas and perhaps Caoimhin Kelleher may also expect to be involved, but the big question is over what Klopp does with the midfield. I think Tyler Morton will start but then it is a guessing game after that.

A chance for some young guns to make themselves known
So then, who’s up for the cup? Fair play to you if you are, it is absolutely lashing it down around Anfield tonight and Jurgen Klopp most certainly won’t be risking too many of his big hitters this evening, so I salute your dedication if you’re travelling here tonight.
It’s a big night, though, despite what is expected to be a heavily rotated side. A home draw for a place in the last four of a domestic cup competition should not be sniffed at.
I and Ian were at Norwich and Preston in the earlier rounds so very much welcome a return to Anfield for the quarters. A chance for some young guns to make themselves known tonight I suspect.
So who could we see for Liverpool?
Beck, Bradley, Gordon, Koumetio, Morton and Kelleher could all be involved, along with a smattering of more senior players.
You’d think Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gomez, Williams and Minamino will be involved, and there’s every chance for Firmino to build up fitness.
Welcome from Anfield
A very wet, cold and windy welcome to Anfield for the latest game in Liverpool’s season.
Yes, it’s now officially winter and the weather has decided to prove it is such.
The Reds are in Carabao Cup quarter-final action against Leicester in a battle of who can actually name anything like something resembling a recognisable team.
Not much down for either side with that, to be honest.
