The Reds may not have it all their own way tonight as they tick off their Carabao Cup campaign at home to the Foxes. Liverpool won this competition in the second before last but went down to foes Manchester City last term, and tonight face a Leicester team who were relegated in May but are flying high in the Championships with sevens win from eight games.
Liverpool’s form is also nothing to be sniffed at, though. They remain unbeaten in the Premier League with five wins from six and will be confident of moving into the next round even with the changes manager Jurgen Klopp is expected to make with the likes of Ben Doak and Jarell Quansah hoping for further chances to impress.
It will be interesting to see how serious Leicester take this game with promotion back into the top flight their clear priority, but they may not want to pass up an opportunity to take a scalp in the cup. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog!

GOAL!
89min: That settles it! Jota with a superb flick of the back heel to secure Liverpool’s spot in the fourth round.
87min: Wow, talking about waiting and waiting and not shooting – Ndidi did just that when seemingly through on goal as Liverpool survive.
86min: Deary me, has Elliott got his shoes on the wrong foot tonight? He could have had a hat-trick tonight. This time he just waits and waits and waits with the goal gaping before turning around and failing to find Nunez.
Sitter!
84min: Szoboszlai also hasn’t given up as he tries his luck with another corker from distance, but this one was a good few yards wide.
81min: Leicester haven’t given up, y’know, as Konate is forced to back track and clear the danger with his team-mates standing like statues.
