Liverpool are ready to face off against Arsenal for the second time in a week as they prepare to lock horns in the Carabao Cup.

The two sides will once again meet at Anfield, but a place in the quarter-finals is at stake this time round. The Reds will hope to continue their fine start to the 2020/21 season with another win in the bag.

Jurgen Klopp fielded a team of all but one fringe player in the previous round against Lincoln City. Virgil van Dijk was the only senior man to start the match against the League One side, and it will be interesting to see if that is the case again this evening.

However, Arsenal boast some already impressive youngsters in the form of Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Eddie Nketiah. Liverpool must be sure to inject some more experienced talent into the starting lineup tonight, and one man at the top of the pecking order should be Diogo Jota.

The club's newest recruit enjoyed his first goal on his Premier League debut after firing a volley past a bamboozled Bernd Leno in their last outing against the Gunners. With the win fresh in his mind, the £45m Anfield signing could be the ideal option to start in Klopp's attack.

Jota needed less than ten minutes after coming off the bench to open up his Liverpool account and score their third goal of the game. He also squandered a big chance to score following his three shots at goal (via Sofascore) – displaying his hunger to find the back of the net, albeit perhaps also showing some nerves.

If Klopp is to rest his usual front three, Jota should be one of the first names on tonight's team-sheet. After enjoying his first goal at Anfield, the striker's instinct in him will be ready to grab the next batch. There's arguably no better time to re-deploy him than after he's just played the exact same side at the same ground.
