Overview

Burton come into this fixture after settling for a 2-2 draw against Blackburn Rovers in the last Championship clash. The Rovers took the lead twice, but Nigel Clough's side came from behind to score the equaliser on two occasions.

Jackson Irvine and Tom Naylor's first and second half goals respectively helped them avoid defeat at the hands of Blackburn. In the first round of the League Cup, the Brewers defeated Bury 3-2 in extra time after the match ended in a 1-1 draw at the end of 90 minutes.

Burton are not the favourites for the clash. However, following Liverpool's 2-0 defeat at the hands of Burnley in the Premier League, the Championship side would be hoping for a win over the Reds.
Jurgen Klopp's side started the 2016/17 Premier League season with a 4-3 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Following that, the former Borussia Dortmund manager saw his men concede two goals in the first half at Turf Moor, which resulted in Liverpool's defeat, despite dominating possession.
