We’re already at the quarterfinal stage of the EFL Cup, with Liverpool playing host to Leeds at Anfield on Tuesday. Jürgen Klopp’s side certainly head into the match as favorites, though given they’re going so well in the Premier League, we can certainly expect to see them making a few changes to the side that saw off Sunderland on the weekend.

Leeds, in contrast, are likely to field as close to a full-strength team as is possible. Manager Garry Monk is likely to put faith in the team that has made an impressive start to the championship season. The Whites find themselves occupying a playoff spot as we approach the halfway point of the campaign. They’ve won five of their last six games in all competitions, and will be confident of pulling off an upset.

Three big things to know
1. Jürgen Klopp is expected to hand playing time to several fringe players on Tuesday, with the prospect of reaching the semifinals of this tournament unlikely to excite their supporters too much. Liverpool have won this tournament more than anyone in their history, and last did so in 2012. They were runners-up to Manchester City last season.
2. Leeds United won this tournament for the only time in their history back in 1968. They made the final in 1996, only to be beaten by Aston Villa. Reaching the semifinals would doubtless represent a great achievement for a club who have been outside of the top tier since 2004.
3. These sides last met in the early stages of this tournament back in 2009, when a Liverpool team then coached by Rafael Benítez won 1-0 away at Elland Road. Not since 2001 have Leeds beaten Liverpool. That season they went on to finish in fourth place in the Premier League, just a place and a point in arrears of the Merseysiders.
