However, Liverpool are 4/6 (1.67) favourites with bet365 to bounce straight back by securing their place in the semi-finals for the first time since 2017 with a win.

Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester ran out 3-1 winners at the King Power Stadium in the most recent encounter between the sides back in February but are 15/4 (4.75) outsiders to come out on top here.

The hosts’ last two EFL Cup games at this stadium have both resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 31/10 (4.10) on this clash also heading to a penalty shootout following a deadlocked 90 minutes.

Mohamed Salah is the 3/1 (4.0) favourite to open the scoring after hitting the net 22 times in 24 fixtures this season, with Diogo Jota priced at 11/2 (6.50) following goals in his last two games.

Jamie Vardy is the visitors' 13/2 (7.50) front runner to break the deadlock against an opponent he has fired past eight times in 13 previous meetings, while James Maddison is a tempting 14/1 (15.0) outside bet after scoring in four of his last six fixtures.

Liverpool vs Leicester preview

With fixtures coming thick and fast and having lost a number of key players due to injury and Covid-19 recently, Jurgen Klopp is likely to give his youngsters and fringe players a runout in this clash.

This should make for an open match against a Foxes side that have provided plenty of goalmouth action at both ends recently - keeping just one clean sheet in 17 fixtures but scoring 16 times themselves in the most recent six.
