United States Liverpool vs Leicester LIVE: Carabao Cup latest score, goals and updates from quarter-final tonight
"Absurd" - Liverpool assistant Lijnders slams festive fixture schedule
Liverpool host Leicester City in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals tonight.
Jurgen Klopp has promised to rotate his starting eleven after his calls to postpone a round of fixtures over the festive period were disregarded at a Premier League shareholders’ meeting on Monday. That followed the German’s furious outburst on Sunday after referee Paul Tierney failed to send Harry Kane off and award Liverpool a penalty during a fiery 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. The result saw Liverpool concede valuable ground to Manchester City in the title race and, although the Reds are considered favourites to lift the Carabao Cup trophy in February, Klopp has always put a ceiling on its importance, particularly as he juggles a number of absences due to injury and Covid.
Meanwhile, this will be Leicester’s first competitive match since 12 December after a widespread Covid outbreak within their first-team squad, causing fixtures against Everton and Tottenham to be postponed. Brendan Rodgers’ side have endured a difficult first half to their season, with the Foxes languishing in ninth in the Premier League table and tumbling down into the Europa Conference League. To add to those woes, their injury toll has only become more severe, with up to eleven first-team players considered unavailable tonight. Follow all the latest updates below:
51 mins: Milner fouls Daka as the Leicester striker wins an aerial ball. The Foxes are awarded a free kick that is slid into the left side of the box for Daka to chase down but he’s beaten to it by one of Liverpool’s defenders, Gomez I think, and the Reds work the ball out of the box.

48 mins: Neco Williams has dropped back to right-back with Diogo Jota taking up the spot on Liverpool’s right wing. Klopp is giving it a go with those substitutions but Liverpool will have to score the next goal. It’ll set up an interesting finish this game if they do.
Williams carries the ball down the right wing but is tackled by Dewsbury-Hall who knocks the ball out for a throw in.

45+4 mins: Oh hello. Conor Bradley steps up the pitch from his position at right-back and brings the ball down the wing. He cuts inside and squeezes into the box before firing an effort at Kasper Schmeichel who smother it low down to his right.

45+2 mins: Williams whips a cross into the box from the right but Albrighton beats Minamino to it and heads the ball out of the area. Oxlade-Chamberlain collects and sends it over to Tsimikas on the opposite wing. He delivers another cross but can’t pick out a teammate.

42 mins: Leicester are having some trouble with Ricardo Pereira. He’s gone down one or two times since being caught on the ankle by a Tyler Morton tackle. There’s another break in play as Ricardo gets some treatment.
Marc Albrighton is called on by Brendan Rodgers, he gets ready quickly and replaces Ricardo who limps off the pitch.
