We begin our EFL Cup quest with a trip to face Championship side Burton Albion at Pirelli Stadium.
Liverpool's line-up:
Joel Matip makes his competitive Liverpool debut as Sadio Mane returns from injury for the Reds' EFL Cup second-round clash with Burton Albion this evening.
Matip replaces Ragnar Klavan at centre-half, while Mane joins the attack after overcoming the shoulder injury that kept him out of the weekend's trip to Burnley.
Elsewhere, Emre Can and Divock Origi make their first starts of 2016-17 after beginning the first two fixtures of the new campaign on the bench.
Burton Albion's line-up:
Pirelli Stadium:
Their latest results:Last time out, Albion drew 2-2 at Blackburn Rovers in the Championship, coming from a goal down on two occasions and claiming a point thanks to an 88th-minute equaliser.
They had beaten Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 at home in their preceding league game, bouncing back from successive defeats at the beginning of the campaign.
Burton reached the second round of the EFL Cup by overcoming Bury 3-2 after extra-time in a home tie at Pirelli Stadium.
No Grujic or Coutinho in the squad. Wonder what's wrong with Grujic? Good to see Can and Mané back in the line-up!
