Fixture: Burton Albion vs Liverpool
Competition: EFL Cup
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)

Liverpool have confirmed their team and substitutes for tonight's EFL Cup tie against Championship side Burton Albion.

The Reds have no European football on the menu this season and are hoping to put together a long run in the EFL Cup, starting with finding a way to avoid an upset against Burton.




Liverpool lost at Burnley at the weekend, but to win this evening, boss Jurgen Klopp goes with Divock Origi to lead the attack, with Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Adam Lallana to give the Belgian support. Jordan Henderson and Emre Can will look to control midfield, while Joel Matip partners Dejan Lovren in the centre of defence.

On the bench, Klopp can turn to Daniel Sturridge and Danny Ings if he needs to throw on another striker, while summer signing Georginio Wijnaldum is also an option.
