Liverpool has discovered its opponents for the third round of the 2024-25 Carabao Cup after this week's second round ties reached their conclusion.

The Reds are the current reigning champions of the competition following last season's dramatic 1-0 victory over Chelsea after extra-time at Wembley Stadium, representing Jurgen Klopp's final piece of silverware as Liverpool manager.

Now, Arne Slot will be aiming to maintain that title from February when his side enters at the third round stage next month, where Liverpool have been drawn against fellow Premier League side West Ham.
