Liverpool have failed to score in just four of their last 61 games in this competition.

One of those matches was the 1-0 semi-final second-leg defeat against Stoke City last season, a tie the Reds eventually won on penalties.

Of their last 12 away fixtures in the League Cup, Liverpool have won 10 - including last month’s 5-0 victory over Derby’s neighbours Burton Albion.

Their only losses during that time have come at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge, with both of those games ending 1-0 to the hosts.
