At the end of February, Liverpool took the lead in the League Cup, also known as the Carabao Cup, after a penalty spectacle. That was a match to lick your thumbs and fingers with a laundry list of chances and spectacular saves. The VAR also claimed a leading role with a disallowed goal by Joel Matip for Liverpool and in extra time, the same VAR spoiled Romelu Lukaku’s party twice. He scored and provided an assist for Havertz, but each time the video ref threw a spanner in the works for Chelsea. Miraculously, it remained 0-0 and a penalty shootout had to decide on a win. In it, substitute goalkeeper Kepa became the anti-hero at Chelsea. The Spaniard was unable to stop a single penalty and himself missed the decisive penalty at 10-11. †

The German is counting on the trio Mane-Salah-Diaz in the front. So Jota – just like Firmino – has to be content with a spot on the couch. In midfield, Fabinho has not yet recovered from his muscle injury. There, Thiago, Henderson and Keita form the triangle. Divock Origi keeps himself ready from the couch for a possible hero role as a substitute. †
