Even without m salah I know pretty well that liverpool is going to win the EFL Cup, reason is because there are players who are fit to handle the position. I rate liverpool as one of the toughest club in the premier league, due to how form they are this season.

Well let's see how it goes, but I can assure you that the possibility for liverpool to win the EFL cup is certain.
This is like a repeat of the final a few years ago and Liverpool managed to win via penalty shootout. The final schedule is 25 February so it's still a month away so a lot of things could change including Mohammad Salah playing for Liverpool in this final, although he is reportedly injured but it doesn't seem that serious and whether he will return to AFCON really depends on the results Egypt gets, if they knocked out in the knockout rounds then he will return to playing for Liverpool sooner, he is currently reportedly in Liverpool undergoing treatment for the injury he suffered
For now, it can be said that without Salah, Liverpool are still able to play well, but when facing tougher matches, his presence is quite important because his movement and cleverness in making assists has succeeded in bringing his team out of trouble and winning the match. If he is unable to defend his club for longer, it is very possible that Liverpool will face a decline in performance because after all he is a key player in this team.
