Chelsea could become the first team to beat a top-flight side in every round of a League Cup-winning campaign, if they get over Liverpool tonight. They have knocked out Aston Villa, Southampton, Brentford and Tottenham.
As for Liverpool, manager Jurgen Klopp has named second-choice shot-stopper Caoimhin Kelleher in goal in place of number one Brazilian Allison Becker, while the regular suspects in Mo Salah and Sadio Mane alongside January signing Luiz Diaz will spearhead the attack for the Reds.
Chelsea gaffer Thomas Tuchel has once again dropped club-record signing Romelu Lukaku to the bench while the trio of Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz and Mason Mount will do the damage upfront for the Londoners.

The last time the Reds won silverware was the Premier League title in the 2019/2020 season.
