Liverpool travel to Lincoln City tonight as the Premier League champions launch their Carabao Cup campaign.
Having fielded young sides in previous seasons under Jurgen Klopp, and after being forced to field a youth side against Aston Villa last year with the majority of the squad on FIFA Club World Cup duty in Qatar, could the Reds have a genuine tilt at domestic cup glory this term?
With added squad depth following three summer arrivals and without many departures to date, Klopp’s squad could be preparing to fight on all four trophy fronts.
The opposition, League One Lincoln City, have begun their season in brilliant form and are yet to drop a single point in the league under former Leicester City manager Michael Appleton.
Following a strong start to their title defence, Liverpool will hope to continue the positivity and advance into the fourth round where a home encounter with Monday night’s Premier League opponents, Arsenal, awaits.
Here’s how we think Klopp will line up his side.
