The defence of Liverpool's EFL Cup crown begins on Wednesday evening, as the Reds welcome West Ham United to Anfield for their third-round showdown.
The tournament was the last one that Jurgen Klopp conquered during his glittering spell in the hotseat, as Liverpool triumphed 1-0 over Chelsea in the 2023-24 final, having previously demolished West Ham 5-1 in the quarter-finals.
Arne Slot's side head into their EFL Cup opener on the back of another emphatic home victory, sweeping aside Bournemouth 3-0 courtesy of a Luis Diaz brace and a terrific Darwin Nunez effort to go top of the Premier League table.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the Irons, who coincidentally fell to a three-goal defeat against Chelsea on Saturday lunchtime.
About Alisson
Alisson Becker was missing from the Liverpool ranks against Bournemouth, having exacerbated a muscular problem against AC Milan in the Champions League. There is still no indication when the Brazilian might return, but Caoimhin Kelleher - who shone at the weekend - was always expected to get the nod in goal here.
about Harvey Elliott
Status: Out
Type of injury: Foot
Possible return date: October 27 (vs. Arsenal)
Harvey Elliott would have likely been anticipating a start in the EFL Cup, but the Englishman is on the long road to recovery from a foot fracture and is not expected to return before the end of October.
