Chelsea's Cole Palmer has been ruled out of the match because of a red card he picked up against Tottenham at the weekend. Chelsea team-mate Joao Pedro also misses out through injury. Liverpool's Florian Wirtz left the pitch against Brighton with a knock but is likely to be fit. Dominik Szoboszlai and Victor Munoz are less likely to feature.
Head-to-head record
Across 200 competitive encounters, Liverpool lead the historic head-to-head record with 87 wins compared to Chelsea's 67, alongside 47 draws. Their last League Cup meeting came in the 2024 final at Wembley, where Liverpool claimed a 1-0 victory after extra time.
