Tänään on luvassa paljon maaleja Anfieldilla, jos vanhat merkit pitävät paikkansa:
The last two League Cup meetings between Liverpool and Arsenal at Anfield have produced 15 goals.
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last seven home games against the Gunners. Each of those fixtures has featured at least four goals, with a total of 34 being scored.
Tässä vielä muutama muukin kiinnostava tilastotieto illan peliin:
Liverpool can extend an impressive winning run at Anfield to 15 games by beating Arsenal in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night... [they are now] five short of the club's all-time best sequence of 19 set back in 1972.
Jürgen Klopp’s side have lost only two of their last 62 matches at Anfield, with both of those defeats coming in domestic cups (to West Bromwich Albion and Chelsea in 2018).
The Reds have won 27 of their last 31 games in total, including the penalty shootout victory over Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup.
On each of the last 24 occasions Liverpool have scored first in a match, they have gone on to win. Indeed, the Reds are unbeaten in their last 38 outings after taking the lead (35 wins, three draws).
Should Harvey Elliott feature against Arsenal, he will become the youngest player to appear for Liverpool at Anfield at the age of 16 years and 209 days.
Tänään tullaan todennäköisesti näkemään Neco Williamsin debyytti Liverpoolin ykkösjoukkueessa. Hän ottaa oikean pakin paikan, koska Gomez tulee pelaamaan topparina ja Hoever on U17 MM-kisoissa.
Liverpoolin avaus tulee olemaan suurin piirtein tällainen: Kelleher; Williams, Milner, Gomez, van den Berg; Lallana, Keïta, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Elliot, Origi, Brewster.
Penkillä sitten kasa junnuja/ressuja (mm. Curtis Jones, Herbie Kane, Pedro Chirivella, Yasser Larouci).
