Your support makes all the difference.There’s no doubt that the Liverpool side that runs out tonight against Leicester will be vastly different to the one that was held by Burnley in a 1-1 draw at the weekend.
With the League Cup an inconvenience more than anything else for the Premier League’s biggest clubs, expect a number of changes from all of the top six sides as they get their respective campaigns in the competition under way this week.
Indeed, Jurgen Klopp has already made it clear that he’ll be fielding a fresh-looking side at the King Power Stadium.
The German has confirmed that Danny Ward, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and fellow midfielder Marko Grujic will be all handed a starting spot in the side.
Of Oxlade-Chamberlain, Klopp said it was a “fantastic opportunity” for the former Arsenal player.
"It is a fantastic opportunity for Alex because since he has been in it has been difficult to train on different things because of game after game after game," said Klopp.
"There is no rush but we are in this three-game-a-week rhythm and during the international break he was with the national team.
"But it is a long-term project so I have no problem. We sat together with him and the analysts and showed him how we want him to play in this position and that position.”
But who else will be joining the £35m signing in lining up against the Foxes tonight? See the gallery above for our starting XI.
