Liverpool vs Leicester City prediction and odds ahead of EFL Cup clash
Liverpool will host Championship side Leicester City in the third round of the Carabao Cup, with both teams eager to continue their progress in the competition. While Leicester has been impressive this season, Liverpool is still expected to come out on top. Liverpool has had a fantastic start to the season, remaining unbeaten in all competitions. After a 1-1 draw with Chelsea on the opening weekend of the Premier League, they have won every fixture, both domestically and in Europe.
The Reds go into this match as the clear favourites at 4/11 with Betfred while the Foxes are 13/2 to surprise everyone at Anfield and a draw is 4/1. The last time these two sides met in this competition was back in December 2021 at Anfield which saw a six-goal thriller go to penalties which the hosts won 5-4.
While Liverpool is performing well overall, they have shown some vulnerability at the back this season. Jurgen Klopp's men have managed just one clean sheet across all competitions and have had to come from behind on a few occasions.
Leicester City has had a comfortable run in the Carabao Cup so far, facing lower league opposition. They secured a 2-0 victory over League One side Burton Albion in the first round and followed it up with a similar win against League Two's Tranmere Rovers.
These victories are part of Leicester City's excellent start to the season, having suffered only one loss across all competitions. Enzo Maresca's team currently sits at the top of the Championship standings and enters Wednesday's clash after a 1-0 win over Bristol City last weekend.
It is worth noting that Leicester City's Carabao Cup wins have come away from home, highlighting their impressive away form this season. They have won every match on the road so far and will bring plenty of confidence to Anfield. The clash between Liverpool and Leicester City promises to be an exciting encounter as both teams aim to advance in the Carabao Cup. While Liverpool is the favourite, Leicester City's strong performances this season could make things tricky for the Reds.
