Jurgen Klopp named the youngest Liverpool side ever for the Carabao Cup quarter-finals against Aston Villa. It was so because Liverpool's first-team travelled to Qatar for their Club World Cup clash. Aston Villa netted five times to end Liverpool's spell in the competition. However, Liverpool ended the clash with more shots on target and had more possession.
