Liverpool fans are ready to compete in another League Cup final but Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he has a different name for the tournament.
Speaking with the club ahead of the match, the German said: “It’s the Caoimh Kelleher competition as well, so he has the chance to win the second trophy of his career, which is absolutely great.
“He won already a lot, but standing in the goal I know that maybe feels for the boys slightly different. He plays the second final, let me say it like that. That’s all really cool.”

It shows how much the 56-year-old tries to ensure that Caoimhin Kelleher feels like a big part of the club and the chance for the Irishman to win another trophy as our ‘keeper, is great.
With no Alisson Becker, our back-up stopper would have played no matter what but this vote of confidence shows that regardless of injury – our No.62 was going to play at Wembley again.
