Here is who we think will line up for the Merseyside club…

GK) Brad Jones

The keeper has come in for the “indefinitely” dropped Simon Mignolet, and will continue between the sticks despite a few mistakes made against Manchester United.

LB) Jose Enrique

The Spaniard will come in as the Reds switch to a back four after the three they started with on the weekend.

RB) Javi Manquillo

The loanee is actually yet to play in the League Cup, but should make his bow in the competition with Glen Johnson injured.

CB) Kolo Toure

The Ivorian wasn’t too bad after coming on for the injured Johnson against Manchester United. He will get another chance to impress Brendan Rodgers here.

CB) Mamadou Sakho

The former France international has been lacking chances to play, but could get one on Wednesday.

CM) Emre Can

The German has looked good when he has played and will be trying to show Brendan Rodgers he is worth a spot on the weekends against Bournemouth.

CM) Lucas Leiva

The Brazilian is one of the few players in a Liverpool shirt to have not been criticised so far this season, and will bring some defensive solidity to the team.

LM) Philippe Coutinho

Another Brazilian, but this time which more of the stereotypical flair. He will be in the starting XI ahead of Adam Lallana.

RM) Lazar Markovic

The Serbian hasn’t looked worth £20 million in the small amount of time he has had. He will try and begin to look like it here.

ST) Mario Balotelli

The mercurial forward played well when he came on against Manchester United, and will get a go from the start in the lesser competition.

ST) Fabio Borini

The Italian hasn’t made the impact this season he would have wanted when he turned down Sunderland to stay at Anfield. Some goals tonight would help.
