Liverpool have been drawn to face Chelsea at Anfield in the third round of the EFL Cup.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were handed a heavyweight tie in Thursday’s draw, the record eight-time winners coming up against a team who have lifted the trophy on five occasions.

The two sides last met in this competition in 2015, when Chelsea emerged victorious from a two-legged semi-final.

The Blues went on to beat Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley in the final, clinching their first silverware since Jose Mourinho’s return.

This around, however, it will be Maurizio Sarri in the dugout, with the Italian set to make his League Cup debut on Merseyside.

Elsewhere, Arsenal - runners-up to City at Wembley in February - will host Championship Brentford in a London derby.

Jose Mourinho's Manchester United, the 2016-17 winners, will face Frank Lampard's Derby. Mourinho and Lampard won the 2005 trophy together with Chelsea.

Tottenham will face Watford, Everton play Southampton and Wolves host Leicester in all Premier League ties.
