Brendan Rodgers will rotate his squad for the second round clash at Anfield against the League One side who have only picked up one point in their opening four matches.

Fabio Borini, Raheem Stirling, Andre Wisdom and summer signing Luis Alberto are all vying for a starting place in the Liverpool side whilst Notts County manager Chris Kiwomya is sweating over the fitness of several first-team players, including captain Dean Leacock, who sat out their weekend loss against Stevenage. New-signing Enda Stevens, 23, is eligible to play for County after joining on-loan from Aston Villa today.
