Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders says the Reds will take on a Premier League quality team in Leicester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
The Championship leaders, who look set to vie for an immediate return to the top flight under new coach Enzo Maresca, will make the trip to Anfield for a third-round tie.
“It will be really hard for us to get control of their key players and at the same time put them under pressure. As always in each game we will focus on ourselves. Midfielder Thiago Alcantara, who is yet to make an appearance this season, is back on the grass but is working individually. “I had the privilege to grow up in Holland and we have this culture, a long tactical culture of Johan Cruyff. This idea of having the wingers on the outside, they can create, can really disorganise the opposition, use the speed.
