Liverpool are the most successful club in League Cup history, having lifted the trophy an incredible eight times.

The holders have another chance to reach the final eight of the competition this year with victory over Brendan Rodgers' former club Swansea.

Swansea have never reached the quarter-finals in their history, making Liverpool the red-hot 4/9 favourites with Paddy Power.

The Reds have scored in each of their last 13 League Cup games and Swansea have scored 16 goals in their last seven matches in the competition.

It's fair to assume there will be plenty of goalmouth action and both teams to score is odds-on with Paddy Power at 8/11.

Exactly two or three goals in the game is a solid evens bet, and four or more goals is a 13/8 shot.

With a packed schedule of football coming up, Rodgers could take this opportunity to play some of the fringe players in his squad.

Stewart Downing is one player who will be eager to get on the pitch after scoring the winner against Anzhi Makhachkala in the Europa League last week.

Downing is an appealing 12/1 with Paddy Power to open the scoring for Liverpool, and 4/1 to find the net at any time in the game.

A wincast bet of Stewart Downing to get on the scoresheet and Liverpool to win is 9/2.

The only meeting between these two sides in the League Cup came in 1964 and LFC won 2-0. For Rodgers' side to win 2-0 on this occasion pays a tidy 6/1.

The last time the Reds met Swansea in a cup game was an FA Cup tie in 1990. Liverpool ran out convincing 8-0 winners that day and it's an optimistic 500/1 to happen again.

Swansea have only won two of their last eight matches in all competitions and Liverpool will be confident of continuing their good run of form. At 4/9 the home side are well worth backing to reach the quarter-finals again.
