The draw, which followed Liverpool’s 4-1 triumph at Anfield, paired Jurgen Klopp’s side against Brighton, with the fixture set to be played away. The Reds have been impressive in the League Cup, reaching the fourth round for six consecutive seasons. Their most recent success came last season when they lifted the trophy for a record 10th time.

Diogo Jota’s brace, along with goals from Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo, ensured Liverpool’s progression. Now, they will face Brighton, a team led by the talented Fabian Hurzeler, in what promises to be an exciting encounter.

Fixture Congestion For Liverpool

Liverpool’s schedule is intense, with the Carabao Cup clash against Brighton likely to fall on October 30. This match will be sandwiched between two crucial Premier League fixtures—an away trip to Arsenal and a home game against Brighton. The back-to-back matches against Brighton will test the squad’s depth, something Klopp has managed carefully in recent years.

Another Wembley Run For The Reds?

Having secured their 10th League Cup title last season, Liverpool are eager to extend their record. As the tournament progresses, the question remains: can the Reds make another memorable run to Wembley?
