Norwich vs Liverpool

| Tuesday, September 21st |
Carabao Cup | Carrow Road
7:45PM BST /2:45PM EST

For the 18th time in 27 matches since Jürgen Klopp ’ s arrival at the baseball club, Liverpool will face Premier League opposition in domestic cup competition. For the 20-somethingth time, the director will — quite rightly — send out a pure youth/b-squad, including his assistant director and heir apparent, Pep Lijnders, to lead proceedings. It ’ s the Magic of the Cup ! ™
How Norwich will approach the regular is uncertain — a shoot at Carabao Cup glory might sound tantalizing, but then again the Canaries have lost five straight in the league and Daniel Farke should probably focus on keeping his starters fresh so they can do something about that .
Indications from Klopp ’ south compatriot is that Norwich will be making “ a few changes ”, but whether that entails the sort of wholesale alterations expected from the Reds or if Teemu Pukki, Todda Cantwell, Pierre Lees-Melou and Milot Rashica are to be involved is ill-defined as of so far .

Projected Liverpool Lineup (4-3-3)

Kelleher ; Bradley, Gomez, Phillips, Tsimikas ; Jones, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson ; Gordon, Minamino, Origi

For the Reds, many first-team players won ’ t even be making the trip east. good Pep has already explicitly stated Kaide Gordon is expected to make his debut, while Conor Bradley ’ s absence during yesterday ’ s 4-0 loss to Leeds indicates the right-back is in line to be involved with the first gear team .
Minutes for Joe Gomez and Nat Phillips seem likely, while Neco William ’ randomness injury suggests a beginning for Bradley. Kostas Tsimikas
In midfield, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be given a casual to stretch his legs in his favor status alongside Curtis Jones, while the third point is up for grab. Tyler Morton or Elijah Dixon-Bonner could potentially be in lineage debuts .
up top, Takumi Minamino should see his first minutes of the temper, probably alongside Divock Origi and the aforesaid Gordon. We try identical hard not to excite ourselves about the prospect of Oakley Cannonier, who has scored a goal every 30 minutes or so for the Under-18s this season, joining the first team anytime soon.
