Liverpool and Chelsea meet at Anfield for a place in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals, with the Reds looking to extend a run of four consecutive victories under Andoni Iraola.

The tie also marks Xabi Alonso’s first return to Anfield as Chelsea head coach. His side must respond to a 2-0 defeat against Tottenham without suspended playmaker Cole Palmer, while João Pedro is also expected to miss out through injury.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
