Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at Anfield on Wednesday night as they exited the Carabao Cup at the third-round stage.
The Reds, who made eight changes to their starting line-up for the contest, took an early second-half lead through Daniel Sturridge’s well-executed finish after Willy Caballero had saved from Naby Keita.
However, late efforts from Emerson and Eden Hazard ensured it will be Maurizio Sarri's men in Saturday’s draw for the next stage of the competition.
