Liverpool midfielder James Milner is already looking ahead to the team’s weekend game after their Carabao Cup defeat at home to Chelsea.

Milner started for the Reds in the Anfield clash, as part of a rotated team.

The game saw Fabinho make his debut, with Naby Keita also featuring in midfield.

A winner from Eden Hazard sealed a 2-1 win, after Daniel Sturridge had put Liverpool ahead.

The exit means one chance of silverware is gone, but it does reduce Liverpool’s early season fixture congestion.

The Reds face Chelsea again in the league this weekend, this time at Stamford Bridge, before a Champions League game against Napoli, and a Premier League match against Manchester City days later.

Liverpool hope this is just a bump in the road after a strong start, and the beginning of an early season wobble.
