Liverpool will take on Leicester City in the third round of the Carabao Cup at Anfield on Wednesday.
After a draw against Chelsea in their season opener, Liverpool have put together a winning run of six games. Following a 3-1 win over West Ham in their most recent outing with goals from Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota, they will be confident of progressing to the fourth round in the Carabao Cup.
Meanwhile, Leicester's life in the Championship has kicked off well, with the team sitting atop the table with 21 points from eight matches. They have only lost one game so far and have won their last three matches. They will need to step up though, to take the Reds on at Anfield.
