Liverpool and their fans may well still be revelling in the glory of their historic 5-0 defeat of arch-rivals Manchester United, but they still have a round-of-16 Carabao Cup match against Preston to contend with.

The odds may be against Preston as the Reds have an incredible run of 22 games unbeaten, thanks in large part to an unstoppable Mohamed Salah who was responsible for a hat-trick in Sunday’s game.

This includes an impressive 3-0 win over Norwich in the cup’s last round, inching Liverpool ever closer to 13th(!) Carabao Cup final.

Preston however will be looking for a surprise upset to reach their first-ever quarter-finals in the competition, with Frankie McAvoy’s side sat at 19th on the Championship table following their loss to Blackpool on Saturday.

However the Lilywhites also remain unbeaten in the Carabao Cup and are indeed the top goal scorers – so perhaps anything could happen with an overconfident Liverpool.

Our prediction: Preston v Liverpool

Despite being the underdogs Preston has proven tough to beat, losing only twice in their last thirteen matches. Conversely they’ve also struggled to get the win also, with six of their matches resulting in draws.

Liverpool, on the other hand, is on an unprecedented roll, with even their reserves annihilating Norwich 3-0.

Liverpool’s starting line-up will be very different to the one that defeated Manchester United, but will comfortably take out Preston – likely by several goals going by their away performance recently.

Our prediction: Preston 0-3 Liverpool (17/2 at bet365).
