Match preview

Liverpool were involved in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday and their home EFL Cup quarter-final against Leicester could be another entertaining encounter.

The Reds scored their 50th league goal of the season at Spurs, but there were a few worries at the other end where star defender Virgil van Dijk was absent for a second game.

The Tottenham attack caused plenty of problems in the channels and that will have not gone unnoticed by Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers.

It seems likely the Foxes will be positive, particularly as they posted a hefty 4-0 win over Newcastle the last time they were in action.

Leicester have scored at least twice in five of their last seven away matches and the potential absence of Van Dijk means Jurgen Klopp's side are not as solid as normal.
