When Liverpool plays Leicester in the third round of the Carabao Cup, they will be attempting to maintain their undefeated start to the season. Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has got a significant injury boost ahead of the game.
In a Carabao Cup match this evening at Anfield, Liverpool will welcome Leicester City with Jurgen Klopp’s team hoping to keep their perfect record going.
Liverpool is now second in the Premier League after beating Bournemouth, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Wolves, and West Ham after drawing with Chelsea to start the current season at 1-1. Last week, they defeated Austrian team LASK 3-1 to begin their Europa League campaign.
Pepijn Lijnders, Klopp’s assistant, addressed the media prior to their Carabao Cup match against Leicester and provided an update on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s health. He also had nothing but respect for Caoimhin Kelleher, the backup goalkeeper who will likely start tonight.
