Liverpool field heavily rotated XI for Carabao Cup tie

Liverpool make a slew of changes from their Premier League side for the Carabao Cup third-round tie against Tottenham at Anfield, with only Ronald Araujo surviving from the Fulham draw. Joe Gomez returns from injury to partner Araujo in central defence.

What it means

• Only Ronald Araujo keeps his place from the XI that drew 0-0 with Fulham
• Joe Gomez returns from his latest injury lay-off to start in central defence
• Tottenham retain three starters from their Everton draw: Rodrigo Bentancur, Omar Marmoush and captain Archie Gray

Model read

Liverpool field a heavily changed, second-string side, so their usual first-choice quality is largely absent and the tie is far more open than a full-strength Anfield outing would suggest.

All signals for this team: Liverpool
