The Reds remain the most successful side in the competition's history with eight triumphs, the most recent in 2012.
And many of the club's renowned goalscorers developed a soft spot for the tournament in years gone by.
Here are Liverpool's most prolific players in the League Cup to date...
1 – Ian Rush – 48 goals
Ian Rush's status as Liverpool's chief marksman in the League Cup is perhaps best encapsulated by one remarkable statistic.
As it stands, the Welshman – whose last season with the Reds was 1995-96 – has still scored more than 10 per cent of the club's total goals in the competition, with 48 of their 467 before Wednesday night's meeting with MK Dons.
