(The Guardian) PreambleEvening. It’s cards-on-the-table time – it’s hard to predict what might happen at Anfield this evening. That’s not a bad thing, because so much of modern football is too easy to predict. We can expect two vastly changed teams, with Liverpool perhaps more likely to field the most inexperienced XI, given their commitments in the Premier League and Europe, not to mention the Club World Cup in December. As for Unai Emery, the pressure is on at Arsenal, and even though he will not want to field a full-strength team, he might be minded to name a reasonably strong side to get a win on the board and keep open the prospect of some silverware down the line. With the beef between Granit Xhaka and Arsenal fans dominating headlines in the buildup to this game, Emery is acutely aware that Arsenal’s season is already shaping up to be a turbulent one. Emery needs a response from his Arsenal team after the draw at home against Crystal Palace, even if the XI players who provide it are not regulars. As for Jürgen Klopp, as much as this competition is probably the lowest on his list of priorities this season, it still offers him the chance to give fringe Liverpool players a run out and give him an idea who might be first in line to come in when he has to rotate over the busy festive period. One person we should see this evening, is Mesut Özil, who is expected to captain Arsenal while Xhaka continues to let off steam. While we wait for team news, see if you can spot him in David Squires’s latest bit of brilliant doodling.

(The Guardian) So, Jürgen Klopp makes 11 changes from the win over Spurs on Sunday, including four teenagers with 18-year-old Neco Williams making his first-team debut. Among the other young whelps, Harvey Elliott, at 16 years and 209 days, will become the youngest player to appear for the club at Anfield, while Rhian Brewster and Sepp Van Den Berg make their Anfield debuts too. Joe Gomez, James Milner and midfielders Adam Lallana, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain add a bit of experience. For Arsenal, Mesut Özil makes only his third appearance of the season - and his first since 24 September. He’s not been seen in a matchday squad since his outing in the last round against Nottingham Forest but is one of 11 changes. Unai Emery has selected six players – excluding Özil – who could be considered first-team regulars, including Lucas Torreira, Sead Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles. And it’s Hector Bellerin, not Özil (as had been rumoured), who captains the side. Well, someone’s got to.

(The Guardian) Pre-match chatzone“Have to say, I think Liverpool would be wise to sack this cup off,” writes Andrew Tuohy. “Especially,with the pointless World Club Championship coming up to put further strain on their scheduling. Worked last season losing to Wolves. See no reason not to repeat the same tactic.” I think Wolves was the FA Cup Andrew, but I take your point. I do think that providing Klopp plays a load of youngsters, he’s not adversely affecting his first XI, though it might upset the rhythm in training a little. I'm also of the opinion that even if you're not real enthused over the two cup competitions you don't just throw them away, you take your best shot at 'em and you let the chips fall where they will...
“Although the presence of the likes of Milner gives a seasoned touch to the Liverpool starting XI, thanks to the inclusion of Brewster and mates, it’s definitely a punky selection,” whoops Peter Oh. ...they are a youngish group of Ramones, aren't they?
“Even with Liverpool’s other commitments this season, Klopp has to be focused on silverware,” reasons Brandon Dwonch. “Klopp and Liverpool are in a window to dominate Europe but they first have to conquer England. Klopp will start youngsters but if they go down he will bring in the big guns.” That bench isn't exactly stacked with “big guns” Brandon, unless you have a very high opinion of Curtis Jones.

(The Guardian) You may or may not know, but it’s “Mizzy Night” (Mischief Night) in Liverpool this evening, which is generally a big excuse for wild kids to cause chaos with eggs, flour, or whatever else they can get their hands on. There’ll be a few fans with stained coats in Anfield tonight. It’s like Halloween, without the innocent fun – all trick and no treat. I believe Mischief Night is also “celebrated” in other parts of the north of England under different names and in the United States. If you do get egged or have a close escape tonight, be sure to let me know. I won’t laugh. I promise. ...no wonder Ste_Macca's at Anfield tonight, hehehe.... “It’s Mizzy Night in Liverpool? Granit Xhaka must be kicking himself,” honks Peter Oh.

(The Guardian) Unai Emery has just spoken on Sky. He didn’t say much of note because he never really does. He swerved a question about Granit Xhaka and just said his team is focused on this game because the League is a good competition. Jürgen Klopp also spoke and confirmed that he took the decision long ago that he would make wholesale changes for the League Cup to rest his regulars. “We have to show them our faith,” he said. He also said that 18-year-old Neco Williams has been handed his debut because in the past four weeks he has really impressed him.

(The Guardian) And there’s more pre-match chat: “There are some really unsavory (or, if you insist, unsavoury) elements associated with big time professional football, from greed to racism to corruption, it’s enough to make me feel quite depressed on occasion,” writes JR in Illinois. “I can’t stop following football of course because if I did that I wouldn’t be able to get all the references in David Sqiures’ cartoons.” Spare a thought for me JR – I’m often the sorry fella who has to try to explain those references to Ste_Macca each week...

(The Guardian) Is that You’ll Never Walk Alone I can hear? I think it is, which means that the teams are out on the Anfield turf on a chilly evening on Merseyside. Meanwhile, Ian Copestake isn’t at the match tonight – and he should be. Blame the trains! “There may be some gaps at Anfield (in the crowd, I mean) as most trains to Liverpool (including the one I was meant to be on) were cancelled. Like the two teams I should have taken a coach!” Ah well, stick with me Ian. I’ll do my best. or go the pub. Yeah, go the pub.

(The Guardian) 1 min: We’re under way. Liverpool haven’t won a home League Cup tie since Ben Woodburn became Liverpool’s youngest ever scorer in the 2-0 win over Leeds in November 2016. Harvey Elliott will be hoping to break that record tonight.
3min: Origi stretches his legs down the left but Maitland-Niles sticks gamely to his task and does well to nick the ball off the Liverpool forward and clear up field. Maitland-Niles had a nightmare in the Europa League recently and was hauled off at half-time against Vitoria. How he could do with a good game to get it out of his system.

(The Guardian) 4 min: Keita does a double-stepover and pops the ball off to Origi inside him. The striker finds Elliott outside him. Elliott cuts inside and spots the top corner, but his curled effort is well over. Youthful exuberance? Worth a pop though.
