As expected, Andoni Iraola has heavily rotated his Liverpool starting XI for tonight’s Carabao Cup fourth-round clash against Chelsea, but there are still some big names kept in the side.

There are seven alterations from the side which began the 2-o win over Brighton on Sunday, with Ronald Araujo, Ryan Gravenberch, Cody Gakpo and – surprisingly – Virgil van Dijk the four to keep their places from the weekend.

The captain has been virtually ever-present for the Reds so far this season, other than his omission against Tottenham in the previous round of this tournament against, and 28 minutes off the bench in the Champions League win over LASK a fortnight ago (Transfermarkt), but he isn’t given a rest tonight.
