Jurgen Klopp's Reds come into this game after a demanding 2-2 draw at the weekend while Leicester should be relatively fresh after their league game was postponed. Bit part players Joe Gomez, Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino have been regulars in the Carabao this season and will likely start with the host's squad covid-depleted.

Leicester edged past Brighton through a penalty shootout in the previous round to set up this quarter-final, but their hopes of pulling off a shock will likely rest on how many of their own players remain on the sidelines thanks to the coronavirus.

This Carabao Cup quarter-final kicks off at 7.45pm GMT. Read on as we explain how to watch a Liverpool vs Leicester live stream today from anywhere in the world.

How to watch Carabao Cup football from outside your country

We've set out below all the ways you can watch Carabao Cup action in a number of countries around the world. However, if you're away travelling for work or pleasure, you probably won't be able to tune in like you normally would at home.

That's because of the pesky digital restriction that is geo-blocking, which prevents certain streaming services from being used outside a specific area. 

Help is at hand however if you run into this issue with the option of using a VPN to tune to your preferred coverage no matter where you are in the world.
