Arne Slot’s side have started the new campaign perfectly, winning all five of their league matches and also claiming victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Saturday’s 2-1 derby win over Everton was another sign of their resilience.
Southampton, meanwhile, arrive under pressure. Will Still’s side are still adjusting to life in the Championship following relegation and sit 19th after a five-match winless run.
While the Saints may not prioritise the Carabao Cup, Still is expected to rotate with experienced options still available to pose Liverpool problems.
Liverpool have often made changes in this competition, and in each of the last two campaigns they conceded in all three rounds before eventually progressing.
Southampton will hope to exploit that vulnerability, but the quality and depth of the Reds’ squad should be enough to see them into the fourth round.
