Liverpool are facing Leicester City in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup at Anfield on Wednesday, but this is a game in which Jurgen Klopp is expected to rotate his team and rest several starting players due to the Reds' congested calendar.

Divock Origi, Nat Phillips, Harvey Elliott and Adrian are all out injured, while Thiago Alcantara, Virgil van Dijk, Curtis Jones and Fabinho are all sidelined after having tested positive for COVID-19.

The good news is that Jordan Henderson is expected to have recovered from a cold and should be fit to feature, while Andy Robertson is suspended after being sent off in Sunday's 2-2 draw away at Tottenham Hotspur.

As for Brendan Rodgers' side, Leicester suffered from a COVID-19 outbreak, with both of their last two games having been postponed, which means that they were last in action back on December 12.

Caglar Soyuncu and Jonny Evans are both doubtful with injuries, while Leicester are missing the long-term injured duo of James Justin and Wesley Fofana.

Meanwhile, Ademola Lookman, Kelechi Iheanacho, Jannik Vestergaard, Ayoze Perez, Filip Benkovic and Vontae Daley-Campbell are all doubtful due to COVID-19 or illness.
