They may be separated by 42 places and an entire division but Liverpool's form has been so patchy this season that Derby County will feel that they may be able to nick something as the two sides meet at Anfield today. This is the Reds' first taste of Carabao Cup action this season, while the Rams have already had to come through two rounds. Read on to find out how to watch a Liverpool vs Derby live stream from wherever you are.

There are plenty of lesser-spotted names in the Liverpool lineup, as Jurgen Klopp opts to give his fringe players and reserves a rare opportunity to shine. Caoimhín Kelleher is in goal behind a backline of Kostas Tsimikas, Joe Gomez, Nat Phillips and Calvin Ramsey, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Fabio Carvalho are the only regulars further forward.

Conor Hourihane starts in place of Lewis Dobbin for Derby, who line up with 19-year-old William Osula up front alongside top scorer James Collins. Despite bagging the his first ever hat-trick just over a week ago, David McGoldrick is on the bench to begin with.

Osula bagged a lovely brace at the weekend but Derby were held to a draw by National League side Torquay, and Paul Warne will be hoping his men can do something similar against Liverpool tonight. They've now drawn three of their last four games, and they need their senior forwards Collins and McGoldrick to start firing on a more consistent basis.

He starts on the bench but it could still be a big night for Dobbin, who's on loan from Liverpool's local rivals Everton, though his replacement Hourihane certainly has the ability and experience to hurt anyone on his day, particularly from set-pieces.

Liverpool's last four league games have seen them beat Man City, lose to Nottingham Forest and Leeds, and beat Tottenham, so trying to gauge which version of Klopp's team will turn up is a fool's errand. They're massive favorites, but in a straight knockout tie you never know what might happen.

This is only their second meeting in a cup competition since the 1970s, so follow our guide to get a Liverpool vs Derby live stream and watch the Carabao Cup online from anywhere for this near-historic occasion.
