We simulated Liverpool vs Leicester City to get a score prediction for Carabao Cup clash

Liverpool get their Carabao Cup campaign underway on Wednesday night when they welcome Leicester City to Anfield.

At the weekend Liverpool made it six wins on the bounce in all competitions, beating West Ham United 3-1.. It was already the fifth game this season that Reds have scored three goals in a game, with Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota getting on the scoresheet.

Next up is Leicester, at the third-round stage of the competition, with Reds boss Jurgen Klopp expected to make wholesale changes to his side, like he did against LASK in the Europa League last week.

Liverpool faced Leicester in the Carabao Cup two seasons ago, coming from 3-1 down to dramatically draw 3-3 before winning on penalties. Will there be a repeat this evening?
