Third round action in the EFL Cup takes place at Anfield on Wednesday. It should be a high-quality game between Liverpool and Leicester City, but the hosts will be the clear favorites against their Championship rivals in the domestic cup competition.
Before Betting On Liverpool vs Leicester City
There will be pressure on Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool this season, as they look to end their wait for a major piece of silverware. The Reds endured a challenging 2022-23 campaign, and the EFL Cup will once again likely rank low in their main aims for the season. However, Liverpool will give a number of fringe players the opportunity to shine at Anfield this week.
It has been an excellent start to the season for Liverpool, as they remain unbeaten across their opening matches this term. The Reds continued their excellent start to the Premier League season on Sunday, as they back from 1-0 down to register a 3-1 home win against West Ham.
Leicester City also endured a miserable 2022-23 season, as they were relegated to the second tier. However, the Foxes have put those issues behind them over the opening weeks in the Championship, as they have won seven of their opening eight matches. They have also recorded wins in each of their last three in the second tier.
Leicester produced a battling display at the King Power in their most recent fixture, as Jamie Vardy scored the winner against Bristol City. However, it could be challenging to overlook Leicester’s record in this fixture, as they have lost each of their last four against the Reds.
