Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool kick start their Carabao Cup campaign tonight by making the trip to Milton Keys to face MK Dons
The Reds have made a perfect start to the Premier League season as they sit at the top of the table with six wins from six, with the only loss coming in the Champions League against Napoli last week
Although Liverpool has bigger ambitions this season, the Carabao Cup comes at a valuable time for Klopp to rotate his squad ahead of quite a long campaign in the League as well as Europe.
Liverpool is expected to feature a considerable number of changes in their starting eleven from Sunday’s 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, and Klopp could hand a few debuts for some youngsters.
The youngsters that are in line for their debuts are 20-year-old goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, and star winger Harvey Elliott, the 16-year-old midfielder signed from Fulham in the summer transfer window after he became the Premier League’s youngest-ever player last season.
Swiss winger Xherdan Shaqiri has been ruled out by a small tear in his calf, but midfielder Guinea midfielder Naby Keita, who has been sidelined for seven games due to a groin issue, is fit and ready to make his return to action,
Sadio Mane (knock), Divock Origi (calf) and Alisson Becker (calf) are unavailable for the European champions.
Liverpool’s Predicted Starting Eleven- Kelleher; Hoever, Lovren, Gomez, Milner; Lallana, Keita, Wijnaldum; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Brewster, Jones.
