Who Will Liverpool Face?…
Liverpool’s Carabao Cup journey is getting a sequel as epic as a penguin doing the cha-cha on ice! The Reds are set to clash with Southampton at Anfield after a nail-biting draw on Wednesday. The 2022 meet-up saw Liverpool emerging victorious from the quarter-final tie at St Mary’s. Of course, Liverpool skillfully sidesteps a Champions League showdown during this draw, keeping the action as swift as my grandma running a marathon! The big match is scheduled for the week starting September 15.
As usual, the drama accompanies the pre-draw rituals, which confuse fans more than a cat at a dog show. Manchester United, shockingly ousted by Grimsby Town from League Two, won’t be joining the third-round festivities. Joining the “Oops-We-Didn’t-Make-It” club are West Ham, Bournemouth, Sunderland, and Leeds. Crystal Palace took a creative vacation from round two matches, having a spa day instead, before prepping for the Europa Conference League. Liverpool, flaunting its 10-Carabao-trophies like a peacock in a penguin parade, eyes more success under Arne Slot’s tenure.
