Leicester will be hoping for a repeat of their last game against Liverpool when they head to Anfield tonight for this Carabao Cup quarter-final. The Foxes won 3-1 back in February and, with Liverpool rotating their squad heavily, Brendan Rodgers could see this as an opportunity for some silverware in a season that has so far failed to take off. Make sure you know how to watch a Liverpool vs Leicester live stream wherever you are in the world.

Liverpool's winning streak hit a blip at the weekend against Tottenham thanks in no small part to a makeshift midfield, but with Jurgen Klopp frequently fielding a second-string side in this competition, it's no surprise to see a number of fresh faces in the starting 11 tonight, despite the sterner opposition.
The Reds have made 10 changes, with France U18 international Billy Koumetio making his competitive debut in defence, Caoimhín Kelleher replacing Allison in goal, and Roberto Firmino returning to the side. Tyler Morton is the only player to keep his place. Leicester field a much stronger side, with both Patson Daka and Jamie Vardy in attack, James Maddison and Youri Tielemans in midfield, and Çağlar Söyüncü returning to the side in defence.
The Foxes have had back-to-back games postponed due to Covid outbreaks so it remains to be seen how that will affect their stop-start season. Leicester haven't won away since the end of October, and with a threadbare defence it'll take a minor miracle to stop even a very young Liverpool side from scoring.
It's a 7.45pm BST kick-off (2.45pm ET) tonight, Wednesday 22nd December, at Anfield. Sadly, the match is not on UK TV but you can catch it on US and Australia streaming services. Read on to find out how to watch a Liverpool vs Leicester live stream wherever you are in the world.

Watch a Liverpool vs Leicester live stream abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Carabao Cup rights holders, you won't be able to use them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
How to use a VPN
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For the Carabao Cup, you may wish to choose 'Australia' to access Kayo Sports.
3. Then head over to Kayo on your browser or device and enjoy a Liverpool vs Leicester stream.
If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, then do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN. You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance.
