Liverpool field a strong line-up in their last-16 game against Bournemouth as Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai make their first starts in the competition this season.
Cody Gakpo makes his first start for Liverpool since his injury against Tottenham Hotspur in September while 20-year-old Jarell Quansah makes yet another start this season after impressing Jürgen Klopp.
Kelleher, Gomez, Matip, Quansah, Tsimikas, Endō, Jones, Szoboszlai, Elliot, Salah, Gakpo
Adrian, Van Dijk, Konaté, Mac Allister, Núñez, Scanlon, Alexander-Arnold, Gravenberch, Jota
Radu, Smith, Mepham, Zabarnyi, Kerkez, Scott, Philip, Christie, Semenyo, Solanke, Kluivert
Plain, Aarons, Senesi, Rothwell, Traorè, Brooks, O. Dango, Tavernier, Moore
Starting both Salah and Szoboszlai is a huge statement by Klopp who looks to be taking the EFL Cup very seriously.
The mix of youth and experience in Liverpool’s starting line-up will prove well against a rotated Bournemouth side who are struggling for firm.
Liverpool will end up victorious with the advantage of being able to call on the likes of Diogo Jota and Alexis Mac Allister off the bench should the game not be going their way.
