Captain Options
Divock Origi would relish a chance to play up front and pose a selection problem for the manager. He has been largely held to substitute appearances of late.

- Norwich City has won their previous eight home League Cup matches, scoring at least three goals in each of those victories and a total of 34 goals. Only one of their victories, a 3-0 triumph against West Bromwich Albion in September 2015, came against Premier League opponents.
- Liverpool has been ousted from five of their past six League Cup matches against Premier League opponents, with their lone success coming on penalties in the fourth round of the 2019/20 season following a 5-5 draw with Arsenal at Anfield.
- Norwich’s 6-0 win over Bournemouth in the second round was identical to their 7-1 triumph over Halifax Town in November 1963. On their first appearances in the tournament, Christos Tzolis and Joshua Sargent both scored braces.
- Despite making several changes, Liverpool are still the favorites to win the encounter.
