: Alonso combines with Barkley to the baseline, but then recklessly gives the ball back when trying to play Barkley in the back area of the sixteenth.
7th
20:53
: The subsequent corner from the left comes sharply inward. The standard remains harmless.
6th
20:53
: Gomez plays a risky low pass into the depths. Leicester intercepts the ball and switches immediately. Daka is sent on a journey and hurries away from his guards. From the left in the penalty area he fails with his shot at the near corner but Kelleher reacts well.

20:51
: On the other hand, the hosts let themselves fall deep at first and hardly give the blues space behind the chain. Individual attempts at the edge of the favorite remain unsuccessful for the time being.
4th
20:51
: The first actions are clearly going to the Reds. The home side set the tone. However, they have not yet found the way in front of the opposing goal.

20:43
: The two clubs have met 116 times. Liverpool celebrated 51 wins and Leicester 40. The last duel in the League Cup was in September 2017. At that time, the Foxes won the direct comparison 2-0. In the league, the Reds were able to make the last two home games against the LCFC successful.
20:34
: At the Foxes there are only three changes compared to the last competitive game. Ricardo Pereira, Boubakary Soumaré and Jamie Vardy start for Timothy Castagne, Jonny Evans and Harvey Barnes.
20:29
: Jürgen Klopp rotates tremendously. Compared to the highly entertaining draw against Tottenham, only Tyler Morton is back in the starting line-up. Otherwise, the 54-year-old changes completely. Many absolute regulars are not even in the squad and are spared for the upcoming tasks.
20:26
: Incidentally, it is a real debut ball for the guests today: three newcomers are in the squad of Thomas Tuchel’s team. The coach has made a total of eight changes compared to the draw against Wolverhampton at the weekend.
20:20
: It is Leicester’s first meeting since December 12th. The last two Premier League games against Tottenham and Everton were canceled due to the corona. Accordingly, the current form of the Foxes cannot really be predicted. Their last match before the short break they were able to win 4-0 against Newcastle United. This ended their negative trend of three consecutive games without a win. Today Vardy and Co. want to come back successfully and reach the semi-finals of the League Cup for the second time in this century.
20:10
: Liverpool are in great shape this season. The Reds only lost one game across all competitions. On the eleventh game day they received a bitter 3-2 bankruptcy at West Ham. This was followed by eight competitive game wins in a row. However, this sensational series ended spectacularly on Sunday. The LFC had a real exchange of blows with Tottenham, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Andrew Robertson also received a red card in the closing stages. So the game really had everything to offer. Now Klopp and his team want to start the next winning streak and make it back to the semifinals for the first time since 2016/17.
19:46
: A wonderful good evening and a warm welcome to the League Cup quarter-finals. Liverpool FC host Leicester City FC. Kick-off is at 8:45 p.m. on Anfield Road.
19:42
: Chelsea FC’s role as favorites, which may be clearly on paper, cannot, however, be sustained unreservedly. After all, the Blues have left a lot of points in the Premier League in the past few weeks. If you greeted from the top of the table last month, there are now six points on the leaders (Manchester City). However, the reigning Champions League winner recently complained about numerous failures due to corona diseases. In contrast to today’s opponents, the Londoners still had to compete in the league.
19:41
: Two competitive games in a row were recently canceled by the hosts from west London due to corona. It is therefore the first game for Brentford FC since the second week of December. And right now a cup sensation should succeed against coach Thomas Tuchel’s favorite. It remains to be seen to what extent the forced break will affect the players’ physique. Because although they will certainly have used the time as a regeneration, some actors also had to be in quarantine.
19:41
: Have a nice Wednesday evening and welcome to the quarter-finals of the English League Cup! It comes to the Londonderby between the Bees from Brentford and the Blues from Chelsea. Kick-off is at 8:45 p.m.
