Here we go then, first time since 2009 we've faced Liverpool (lost 1-0 that time) and a trip to Anfield for the Travelling Faithful hoping to see an upset and why not, we've done it before
Venue ..Anfield...Date 29th Nov... Kick Off 19:45hrs
Team News
Leeds boss Garry Monk has not said whether he will name his strongest side or make changes like in past rounds.
They have no new injuries from Saturday's 2-1 win at Rotherham. Jansson back in contention is obviously good news.
Liverpool
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists the EFL Cup quarter-final against Leeds is no time to take risks with his selection despite injuries beginning to mount.
Playmaker Philippe Coutinho is absent with suspected ankle ligament damage, fellow Brazilian Roberto Firmino is nursing a calf problem from Saturday’s victory over Sunderland while Daniel Sturridge is not yet training with the team after a similar problem forced him to sit out the weekend.
Midfielder Adam Lallana’s groin injury rules him out while Klopp is also missing striker Danny Ings, who is sidelined for the season with a knee ligament injury.

We had a go. We played well in the second half, just looked leggy at about the 70 minute mark... gave them a bit more space and time and their extra bit of quality made the difference. Can hold our heads high. Main thing tonight was to avoid a confidence sapping drubbing, second son was to avoid extra time. So, in glass half full mode, I'll take that.
