On Wednesday, Darwin Nunez has a chance to become Liverpool’s most-capped player.
The No. 9 will play in his 49th game for the Reds since joining the club last summer before facing Leicester City in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Below are some additional stats that LFC statistician Ged Rea has accumulated in preparation for the game…
Liverpool currently has an 18-game winning streak (13 wins, 5 draws) in all competitions. In their current scoring streak, they have 45 goals.
In his 26 League Cup matches as Reds manager, Jürgen Klopp has used 89 different players.
Since the 42nd minute of any game this season, Liverpool has not given up a goal.
If the Reds score another League Cup victory, it will be their 150th overall (counting shootouts).
They have scored 493 goals so far, 7 shy of the 500-goal mark for the tournament.
The Reds have advanced to the League Cup final after victories against the Foxes in 1986 and 2021, out of three total meetings.
Only seven of the 120 matches between the clubs in all competitions have ended in a stalemate.
In their previous 29 home games (in all competitions), the Reds have failed to score just twice (in back-to-back games in April 1999 and May 2000).
In Liverpool’s history, Caoimhin Kelleher has made more penalty saves (six) in shootouts than any other goalie. Three of those saves came in the third-round triumph against Derby County last season.
Kelleher has been in the League Cup nine times and has a perfect record in penalty shootouts, winning all four.
