Preston North End are really struggling in the Championship and here they dive into the deep end, as they host the best team in England at the moment – Liverpool. They two will square it out in the Round of 16 of the League Cup and Preston will be hoping to pull a big shocker. The hosts aren’t doing really well in the season and are coming from a 2-0 loss to Blackpool. They have two wins only in the last 10 matches and one clean sheet in the last five. Both sides have scored in Preston’s three of the last five matches and Preston have failed to score in two. At home, they are unbeaten in the last seven, with four wins. They have two clean sheets in eight home games and this will be their first competitive meeting with Liverpool since 2009. They lost 2-0 then.

Liverpool are flying high this season, and they go to this game straight from a 5-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford. They’ve been scoring a lot of goals too; in their 13 matches this season, they are unbeaten and have scored two or more in 12. They however have just two clean sheets in their last five matches. In each of their eight away games this season, Liverpool have scored three or more goals. In the last round in this competition, they thrashed Premier League side Norwich 3-0. They’ve led in both halves in three of their last five matches, and even with a changed squad, they’ll still have more quality.
