Your support makes all the difference.The Carabao Cup draw takes place this evening with just three more fixtures to be played before the third round is complete.
Manchester City, Chelsea and Aston Villa joined the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in reaching the fourth round on Tuesday night.
Liverpool host West Ham and Arsenal play Bolton on Wednesday, while the postponed fixture between Newcastle and AFC Wimbledon will be staged next Tuesday and held at St James’ Park after it was postponed due to a sinkhole at Plough Lane.
Last year, Liverpool went all the way to Wembley and beat Chelsea in what turned out to be the final trophy won under Jurgen Klopp, so Arne Slot has plenty of reason to want to do well in the competition too.
And as soon as the Reds’ initial foray into this year’s tournament is concluded, they - or their opponents - will get to find out the next step on their path towards Wembley.
