Preview:

Southampton will look to cause an upset when they host Liverpool in the Carabao Cup. The Saints have been struggling to find consistency this season, while Liverpool have been in impressive form, with their strong attack being a key factor in their success. Liverpool are expected to win comfortably, but Southampton will look to take advantage of any mistakes made by the Reds.

Liverpool have already won the south coast competition with a 3-2 win over Brighton in the last game [3], and on the basis of the history of the EFL Cup, it is likely that the club will triumph for their third time in a row as the defending champions have a competition record of ten victories, winning the trophy in two out of the last three competitions [4].

Players to watch: In their previous encounter, Adam Armstrong, of Southampton, missed a penalty, earned a yellow card, scored, and provided an assist. He’ll be looking to score for a third successive home game against Liverpool, while the visitors’ Cody Gakpo has scored twice in each of their two EFL Cup games this season, with all four goals coming in the second half.
