Liverpool forward Philippe Coutinho is set to miss the EFL Cup quarterfinal clash with Leeds United due to ankle injury.

Liverpool have quite a challenge on their hands as Daniel Sturridge is sidelined with calf injury and Coach Jurgen Klopp most likely will not risk Roberto Firmino. Simon Mignolet will be in action instead of Loris Karius going into the game as Liverpool reveal game plans. Klopp’s counterpart Garry Monk has not revealed his plan for the game. Monk used to make changes in previous rounds but might name his strongest squad for a chance at a cup semi final.

“It’s a historic fixture in English football and we have to respect that. We’re under no illusions. It’s a very difficult game for us. It’s a great challenge, that’s how we have to look at it Our young players have a bit of freedom to go there. We’re under no pressure. The odds are against us, but we have good belief in ourselves,” Monk said.

Klopp could not hide his fears going into the game as he said “it is about having a line-up which can stand the intensity of the game because Leeds are in a really good moment.”

His comments reveal Firmino might not start the game, even as he tried not to reveal his cards.

He said, “We don’t want to rest somebody who doesn’t need a rest. It is possible we will make a few changes. It is possible we will play nearly the same team.

Liverpool would play Leeds on Tuesday for the fourth time, having won two in the past and playing a draw. Leeds have been losing against most Premier League side and would face a tough challenge against the Reds which might force Monk to play a strong side. Klopp would be gunning for his second semi final in the League Cup in two years.

John Motson, BBC commentator had said that the 5-0 win by Chelsea over Everton was the best 90 minutes of football he has ever seen all through his career as a commentator.

He made the comments on BBC 5 Live where he claimed that the game was a “football on another planet.”

Chelsea made an excellent performance at Stamford Bridge, thrashing Everton 5 goals to nil in a match where 25-year old Eden Hazard came off as the star of the show. The Belgian forward scored a brace during the game, with goals from Marcos Alonso, Diego Costa and Pedro adding up to make it five.

Blues boss Antonio Conte used the 3-4-3 formation, which he had also once used whilst at Juventus, and with the Italian National team. The formation ensured that Chelsea also had a non-porous defence.

While speaking about the game, Motson had said,

“This was the best 90 minute performance I have ever seen in the Premier League.

“I put it above anything I ever saw from Arsenal when they were at their best and I put it above anything I saw from Manchester United. This was football on another planet.”

Motson went on to praise Chelsea’s dominance of the game, their movement and finishing prowess while also claiming that the Blues showed no sign of weakness as they showed all of their strength within the 90 minutes of the game.

Also, he opined that Chelsea might just come off as the Premier League champions if Conte maintains the tempo, whilst training with his boys four or five days every week.

Chelsea are currently 2nd on the league table, just a point below first-placed Liverpool who also tore Watford apart at the Anfield stadium, winning 6-1. They have also won their last five Premier league games without conceding any goals but garnering a total of 16 goals in the process.
