Liverpool XI vs. Derby County: Updated injury information, lineup predictions, and team news for today's Carabao Cup.
For their Carabao Cup match against Derby today, Liverpool will probably ring the chances.
The Rams go into the game at Anfield as enormous underdogs, but the hosts are coming off of being stretched by Tottenham and are in the middle of a very hectic run of games.
Liverpool will continue to be without many long-term injured players, including Luis Diaz (knee), Joel Matip (calf), Arthur Melo (thigh), and Diogo Jota (calf).
Naby Keita won't be back until the weekend at the earliest, but James Milner (concussion) may be well.
For the third-round match, Klopp is anticipated to utilize a lot of reserves and young players.
Young Calvin Ramsay might make his full debut at right-back while Caoimhin Kelleher, the expected starter in goal, may also start.
After sitting on the sidelines at Spurs, Curtis Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kostas Tsimikas, and Fabio Carvalho may all hope to play.
Layton Hewitt, the top scorer for Liverpool's Under-23 team, Stefan Bajcetic, an 18-year-old defensive midfielder who has already appeared four times this season, and winger Kaide Gordon are further young players who might be considered.
