Liverpool square off with Southampton at Anfield on Tuesday night as the League Cup third round takes center stage.
The Reds are still smarting from last season’s final defeat at Wembley against Newcastle, but with the firepower at Arne Slot’s disposal, it wouldn’t be a shock if they’re still chasing a quadruple deep into spring 2026.
Five wins from five in the Premier League have them sitting pretty at the top, and with late goals becoming their calling card, opponents know that the danger never dies until the final whistle.
Southampton, on the other hand, continue to feel the weight of their relegation blues. Under new boss Will Still, the Saints have managed just a single victory in their opening six Championship outings, and Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Hull only added salt to the wound.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
