Exactly two weeks ago, the Reds managed to win 2-1 at Anfield Road, after having started the game trailing through Willian's goal. On that day, Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo made the comeback possible and gave their team the lead in the first leg, but things are not over yet.

This Wednesday, the decisive match of the Carabao Cup semifinals will be played at Craven Cottage. There, the hosts will try to get strong thanks to the support of their fans and get a victory that will allow them to reach the final. But Liverpool are the favorites. Even without their main star, Mohamed Salah, who was injured in the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt, they have top players who can make the difference.

The starting lineup decided by Jurgen Klopp is: Caoimhin Kelleher; Conor Bradley, Jarell Quansah, Virgil Van Dijk, Joseph Gomez; Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis MacAllister, Harvey Elliott; Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz. In addition, the substitutes will be Alisson, Andrew Robertson, Ibrahima Konate, Owen Beck, Curtys Jones, James McConnell, Bobby Clark, Treymaurice Nyoni and Diogo Jota.
