On Wednesday, Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez may play in his 100th game for the club.
The No. 9 is only one game away from reaching 50 appearances for the Reds since joining them last summer.
Below, LFC statistician Ged Rea has provided ten additional interesting stats to consider before the big game.
Liverpool has gone 18 games without losing, winning 13 and drawing 5 in all competitions. During this run, they’ve scored 45 times.
As manager of the Liverpool football club, Jürgen Klopp has used 89 different players in 26 League Cup matches.
After the 42nd minute, Liverpool has not let up a goal in any of their games this season.
After their next League Cup victory (counting those won on penalties), the Reds will have won the tournament 150 times.
They need seven more goals to reach 500 for the tournament as a whole.
There have been three League Cup meetings between Liverpool and Leicester, with Liverpool advancing to the final both times they have won (1986 and 2021).
In 120 total encounters between the teams, just seven ended in a stalemate.
Only twice in their past 29 home games in all competitions (back-to-back games in April 1999 and May 2000) have the Reds failed to score.
Six of Liverpool’s shootout penalties have been saved by Caoimhin Kelleher, more than any other goalkeeper in club history; three of those saves came in the third-round victory against Derby County last season.
Kelleher has been in the League Cup nine times, and throughout that time he has gone four for four in penalty shootouts.
