Liverpool turn their attention to the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night as they host Chelsea in the fourth round of the competition at Anfield.

Two iconic former Reds in Xabi Alonso and Jordan Henderson return to L4 with the west London side, with the Spaniard occupying the away dugout for the third season in a row with a third different club after visiting with Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid in the past two years.

While Andoni Iraola has said he will rotate his starting XI amid a hectic period of nine matches in 29 days, and with one eye on the Premier League showdown against Arsenal on Sunday, the Basque has also stated his desire to try and win this trophy in his first campaign on Merseyside.
