| The Carabao Cup match between Liverpool and Leicester City promises to be a highly anticipated clash between two outstanding teams in English football. Both teams have a rich history and an impressive fans, making this encounter a small highlight of the autumn before the Reds continue in the Europa League next week. The game promises pace, tactics and spectacular goals as both sides fight for a place in the next round of the competition. Incidentally, only Newcastle can actually complain about more bad luck than Leicester in this third round of the Cup, who will face Manchester City a little later. Operation "Premier League" is currently in full swing at Leicester. The almost complete change in personnel have been handled better than many would have expected. With seven wins from 8 games the Foxes are at the top of the most intense 2nd division in Europe level on points with Ipswich Town. Leicester already eliminate lower-class clubs such as Burton and Tranmere to reach this round. Liverpool have only been able to keep a clean sheet in one of their seven competitive games so far this season. On the other hand, Leicester City was a club that had already scored 14 goals in the Championship and therefore didn't have a bad chance of at least being able to score at Anfield. The last match between those two in the Carabao Cup between the two clubs in December 2021 finished in a spectacular 3-3 draw, which had to be decided on penalties. Liverpool ended up winning in the aforementioned penalty shootout. |
