Today Liverpool will play in the EFL Cup against Preston and it looks like in a tournament like this Liverpool will only play second tier players, it makes me wonder if Liverpool will still win big and easy in this match. Looking at the other teams, they have a balanced opponent which of course they will be more serious to win the game and maybe only a little rotation, it looks like it will be very different from the rotation done at Liverpool.
Ouep the second Liverpool squad was able to beat Preston with 2 goals to 0.
Meanwhile City, although playing with key players, lost by penalties vs West Ham...
Chelsea and Leicester won also by penalties.
A tournament to test second tiers players and new strategies if I can say so.
