The Carabao Cup draw has handed Liverpool boss Arne Slott a tough tie for his first English cup game in charge of the Reds.
The Reds clinched the trophy in February, triumphing over Chelsea at Wembley. This marked Jurgen Klopp’s final silverware achievement, with Arne Slot now given the responsibility of adding to the Anfield trophy collection.
