Liverpool have been drawn against fellow Premier League side Leicester City in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
The Foxes have had a pretty poor start to the season, and supporters on Twitter are feeling rather confident of making it through to the next round:

It remains to be seen how manager Jurgen Klopp will treat the quarter-final tie. The Reds boss used fringe players and youngsters to see off Preston North End in the last round on Wednesday. It wasn’t the most convincing performance.
If Klopp goes with a similar lineup against Leicester, it would be hard to see them making it through. A stronger team will be needed to progress but, with the match taking place right in the middle of the busy festive period in December, the fitness of the players will have to be taken into consideration.
The other three-quarter finals see Arsenal face Sunderland, Brentford taking on Chelsea, and Tottenham hosting West Ham.
