The League One outfit have started the 2020/21 season in terrific form and will hope to cause one of the biggest upsets of the tournament when the Premier League champions roll into town.

Liverpool have kick-started their defence in solid fashion but Jurgen Klopp is set to rotate his squad for the cup clash.

New signing Diogo Jota is primed and ready to feature as he seeks to carve out a place for himself in the established front three.

Lincoln v Liverpool team news

Lincoln: Michael Appleton has no injury concerns going into this one and is likely to name the same XI that beat MK Dons at the weekend.

Liverpool: The Reds have several injuries to fringe players who would have been likely to start here.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Xherdan Shaqiri and Joel Matip are out, so too is Jordan Henderson. Expect a much-rotated young squad here, plus a first start for Jota.

Our prediction: Lincoln v Liverpool

Lincoln have won all five of their competitive games this season and currently sit second in League One.

The Imps will name a strong XI that cannot be underestimated when they come up against Liverpool's youngsters.

However, the Reds' kids have a point to prove early in the season. Jurgen Klopp hasn't invested in too many new signings this summer, meaning squad place are very much up for grabs. They'll be keen to impress.

Our prediction: Lincoln 0-2 Liverpool
