Carling Cup
Liverpool vs Northampton
Venue: Anfield
Kick-off: 7:45pm

Liverpool
Liverpool will send out a much-changed team when they play host to Northampton, the lowest ranked side left in the Carling Cup. The Reds have also stuttered through the early stages of the season under new manager Roy Hodgson, with only one win from five, and are currently perched just one point above the relegation zone in the fledgling Premier League table.

Compared to Sunday, I’d say there’s slightly different expectations in the build-up to tomorrow’s match.

Not for the result, mind you—I think Liverpool need a win here, not just for progression in the competition, but for furthering (or creating) a feeling that things are moving in the right direction.

The atmosphere around the League Cup in recent years has steadily declined, despite being told that “it’s back” any number of ways and any number of times

The two teams have only met three times in their history, twice in the league 45 years ago and once in the FA Cup eight years prior to that, with the Reds romping to 3-1 and 5-0 victories on home soil.

Northampton
The League Two outfit earned their place in the third round and secured a dream trip to Anfield after victories over Brighton and Reading.

Despite their cup heroics, the Cobblers have been less than impressive in league action, with just one win to date from their seven fixtures.
