What’s hot and what’s not from the EFL Cup

HOT: Saints’ setup

Despite the lack of spark from Jurgen Klopp’s side, Claude Puel had his side setup perfectly on the south coast.

After a terrible run of form, the Frenchman knew what he needed from his men and they delivered with a thoroughly professional showing.

Whist there was a nervy start from the hosts, the frustrated Liverpool throughout and restricted them to just sitting in the middle third for long periods.
