Norwich City face Liverpool at home in the third round of the Carabao Cup at 7.45pm on Tuesday night.

Our match preview provides a guide to the opposition and their current form, the officials in charge of Tuesday’s game and how City fans can follow from afar.

The opposition

With eight League Cup victories and four runners up medals, Liverpool are the most successful side in the history of this competition. They were the first side to win four consecutive League Cup trophies, from 1981 to 1984, and they last won the competition in 2012 with a penalty shootout victory over Cardiff City.

Liverpool have also started this season in great form with five wins and a draw from their opening six matches in all competitions. That included a 3-0 win at Carrow Road on the opening day of the season when Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino netted for the Reds.

Owing to their Champions League involvement, this is Liverpool's first EFL Cup tie of the 2021/22 season. Therefore, it remains to be seen what strength of side manager Jürgen Klopp picks. However, Trent Alexander Arnold (illness), Neco Williams (knock) and Firmino (hamstring) remain doubts for the game, while Harvey Elliott (ankle) and Thiago Alcántara (calf) are definitely ruled out.

Head-to-head

Norwich City and Liverpool have played each other 65 times in all competitions with Liverpool winning 37 games, Norwich 14 and 14 matches ending in draws.

The two teams have only met in the League Cup twice - once in 1983 when a 2-0 win for Liverpool helped them on their way to lift the trophy that year - and once at Carrow Road in January 1980, when a fifth round tie was settled by two goals from David Johnson and a strike from Kenny Dalglish in a 3-1 Liverpool win.

The Reds did not win the trophy that year though as two penalties from John Robertson saw them lose to Nottingham Forest in the semi-final, who in turn lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Wembley.

A win for Liverpool tonight is nonnegotiable.
YNWA!

I hope he takes ds match seriously unlike past seasons

Klopp won't field a strong team. That's the reason why he's always eliminated very early in both English domestic cups.

Omo see lineup

Poor how??! What other line-up were you expecting sir??!

Carabao is a second squad competition, except the finals! That is the right line up! They have no excuse not to beat Norwich silly!

That squad is supposed to even beat the first teams of all clubs in the bottom half of the table.

The goalie and backline is okay but I don't expect much from the attackers.
