Chelsea broke the unbeaten streak that Liverpool had this season and also Klopp had 23 games without losing at home and 8 without allowing goals, The Blues raised a game that was losing until the minute 79 and left out the Reds of the League Cup.
In an important match, but a cup one, both teams made rotations, leaving on the bench their top stars, Hazard and Salah. Chelsea with Mateo Kovacic and Álvaro Morata in the starting line-up had had their chances, the most dangerous opportunity came thanks to a pass from Cesc Fábregas to Morata that could not define against Simon Mignolet. For its part the Reds always dangerous with Mané, Shaquiri and Sturridge began to warn up, demanding an amazing performance from Caballero who saved his team three times, first in a shot by Nabil Keita from outside the area, then with a header from Mané and finally in a hand to hand with the Senegalese, which the Argentine cleared with a foot.
The zero to zero remained until the 58th minute where Caballero cleared a shot and Sturridge with an acrobatic resource put the first goal on the scoreboard. The comeback from the Blues would arrive after the entrance of Eden Hazard to the game, first with a little luck the Chelsea would obtain the tie. A direct fault center that Emerson Palmieri would use to put equality. And 6 minutes later Hazard took the ball in the right wing, left two defenders along the way with pipes included, and with a cross-shot put Chelsea in the fourth round of the League Cup leaving Liverpool eliminated at home.
Those led by Kloop will have their chance to take revenge by visiting Stamford Bridge on Saturday for the Premier League leadership. Will the Reds have their revenge? or the Blues will celebrate a home victory this time?
