It will be interesting to see how serious Leicester take this game with promotion back into the top flight their clear priority, but they may not want to pass up an opportunity to take a scalp in the cup. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog!
40min: The ball sits up nicely for Gakpo to have a pop from the edge of the area after a bit of midfield ping-ball, but his half-volley is weak.
37min: Gakpo’s curled effort from inside the area is deflected wide. From the following corner, Gravenberch feeds Doak into a shooting position, but the youngster is rash and his effort is miles wide.
36min: Jones has struggled so far. Was caught completely out of position for Leicester’s goal and is not providing much in the way of attacking intent from deep.
34min: Liverpool have clearly been the better team, despite trailing, but Leicester are so threatening on the break. They keep their shape and are ready to pose down the wings.
32min: A calmer few minutes, and they are needed, as Liverpool probe in midfield once again. Leicester’s shape is very impressive.
29min: Elliott fancies a crack at this free kick... but it’s straight into the wall.
28min: Liverpool win a free kick on the edge of the area after Gakpo is tripped by Justin.
26min: Gakpo is everywhere. You feel if (when) Liverpool score, he will be involved. He is so busy.
24min: First booking for the game goes to Richardo for wiping out Gravenberch. He can’t have any complaints, but he does of course.
22min: What do Liverpool need to do?! Gakpo is free at the back post to head at goal, it beats the keeper but not Coady on the line!
