Liverpool have enjoyed an impressive start to their 2018/19 season, winning all seven matches so far and topping the Premier League table.
The Reds strolled to victory against Southampton on Saturday as they continued their fine form going into Wednesday night's fixture.
Chelsea, led by new manager Maurizio Sarri, have been equally impressive during the start of the season having won all but one game so far.

The two sides come up against each other with one eye on Saturday's Premier League game at Stamford Bridge and both managers are expected to make changes.
However, manager Jurgen Klopp insisted ahead of the game that his side must take the competition seriously, with the Reds still awaiting their first trophy under the boss.
With wholesale changes expected, the key for Liverpool will be to keep up their momentum and head into the third round with as little fuss as possible.
