Liverpool vs Derby
Carabao Cup
Date: Wednesday, 9 November 2022
Kick-off at 21:00 UK / 22:00 CET
Venue: Anfield.

Liverpool are set to begin their defence of the Carabao Cup trophy with a meeting against Derby County for the third round of the competition.

Jurgen Klopp’s men beat Chelsea on penalties in the final of the 2021-22 tournament to win the trophy for the ninth time.

In the Premier League, the host ended their two-game winless run with an impressive 2-1 victory over Tottenham. This is their first away win of the season as well. We can expect Jurgen Klopp to make key changes in the team’s starting eleven for this upcoming game.

The visitors defeated West Brom by 1-0 in the second round of this competition back in August. Louie Sibley scored the only goal in that game for Paul Warne’s side.

In their domestic league, they are seeing a slight dip in form. In their last league outing against Morecambe, it was Louie Sibley who scored the equaliser.

We can expect Paul Warne’ side to play with his best possible starting eleven as their opponents are the defending champions of this competition.

Liverpool are lacking squad depth this season and the main reason behind this is that many key players are out injured.

Moreover, William Osula most recently scored a brace for Paul Warne’ side against Torquay United in the FA Cup.

Liverpool vs Derby Head-to-head

• It has been over fifteen years since both these sides played against each other at Anfield.
• The last time Derby won at Anfield was back in 1998.
• The host won by 3-0 against Derby in this competition six years ago.

Liverpool vs Derby Prediction

Jurgen Klopp will most likely give minutes to some of the academy players in this match.

Derby’s away form is looking weak, this is the main concern for manager Paul Warne. They are winless in their last three away fixtures in all competitions. Therefore, they will have a difficult trip to Anfield.

Our prediction is that Liverpool will win by 2-0 – at 7.00 odd. The host have an excellent record against Derby at Anfield. Moreover, they are the defending champions.

Our second tip for this game is that Darwin Nunez to score anytime – at 1.90 odd. In the absence of Luis Diaz, we can expect Darwin Nunez to find the back of the net. Jurgen Klopp will likely give him a place in the starting eleven.
