It was a massive win in Klopp’s side’s season, especially after falling behind in the first minute to a fortunate Harry Kane strike.

The stress of the Premier League title race makes way for more serene League Cup commitments in midweek, as Arsenal return to Anfield two months after losing 3-1 there in the league.

Unai Emery is under increasing pressure to save his job, particularly after Sunday’s 2-2 draw at home to Crystal Palace, when captain Granit Xhaka’s behaviour angered the supporters.

There is no denying that this is the least important of Liverpool’s competitions this season, but progressing is still key.

It will allow Klopp to continue rotating his squad and the importance of keeping trophy wins ticking along should never be sniffed at.

This may not be the type of high-intensity, nerve-shredding encounter that occurs in the league, but it should still make for intriguing viewing.

It is a wonderful opportunity for youngsters and fringe players to prove their worth, giving the manager a selection headache ahead of Saturday’s trip to Aston Villa.

There are no new injury problems for Klopp to contend with, but Joel Matip and Xherdan Shaqiri are still out and Nathaniel Clyne is a long-term absentee.

Klopp could change his entire starting lineup from the victory over Spurs, in order to refresh key men and give others a chance.

Caoimhin Kelleher is a confirmed starter ahead of Alisson in goal, while at the back, it would be a huge surprise if Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson started.

Dejan Lovren could retain his place, however, with Joe Gomez expected to come into the team after struggling for playing time this season.

Ki-Jana Hoever is away on international duty with the Netherlands at the Under-17 World Cup, which may give 18-year-old Neco Williams an opportunity to make his Liverpool debut.

In midfield, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will surely both start, while Adam Lallana could also feature prominently.

Curtis Jones has been in sparkling for Liverpool’s Under-23s and will hope to play, as will brilliant teenage pair Harvey Elliott and Rhian Brewster.

Emery is also sure to make plenty of alterations to his personnel and has confirmed he will leave out Xhaka after the weekend controversy.
