It’s a much-changed lineup from Liverpool who start new signings Wataru Endō and Ryan Gravenberch in midfield. Despite starting on the weekend, Curtis Jones retains his place in the starting line-up.

As expected, Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez, and Luis Díaz are rested for Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota and teenager Ben Doak who makes a second start of the season.

Liverpool Lineup

Kelleher, Endo, Konate, Quansah, Tsimikas, Gravenberch, Jones, Elliot, Jota, Doak, Gakpo

Substitutes

Adrian, van Dijk, Matip, Díaz, Núñez, Szoboszlai, Robertson, Bajčetić, Chambers, Mac Allister

Leicester City Lineup

Stolarczyk, Ricardo, Souttar, Coady, Justin, Yunus, Choudhury, Casadei, Albrighton, McAteer, Iheanacho

Substitutes

LFC Globe Verdict

Despite a much-changed lineup from Liverpool, I expect them to defeat Leicester City to reach the next stage of the EFL Cup.

Ryan Gravenberch makes his full Anfield debut and will put on an impressive performance alongside fellow new signing Wataru Endō. Should Liverpool enter any trouble, they have the likes of Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz to come on from the bench.
