Team news
We'll have confirmed team news for you at around 6.15pm GMT, but we already know a bit about who is going to feature for the Reds tonight.
Caoimhin Kelleher will start in goal and Harvey Elliott is set to be part of the squad, but Joel Matip and Xherdan Shaqiri are definitely out.
Ki-Jana Hoever, who started and scored in the third-round win over MK Dons, is away at the U17 World Cup. 
Klopp: Our youngsters show the right attitude and hunger every day
Jürgen Klopp discusses the younger players at his disposal in his notes for the matchday programme.
"Although not certain, the strong likelihood is that a number of our younger players will feature in some capacity tonight," the boss writes.
"In Milton Keynes, Caoimhin Kelleher, Ki-Jana Hoever, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Rhian Brewster all started and equipped themselves superbly. Herbie Kane, Pedro Chirivella and Sepp van den Berg all came on off the bench. Ki-Jana isn't available to us at the moment because he is away with the Dutch national team with his respective age group. 
"The attitude these players showed in the last round is exactly what will be required this evening, if again given the opportunity. 
"They show the right attitude and the perfect amount of hunger each and every day they train with us at Melwood. They show us, in their actions, that they understand what an immense privilege it is to represent a club like Liverpool – it's an honour all of us blessed to work here feel."
Speaking of the matchday programme...

Liverpool's season so far: August

A fruitful August featured a perfect start to the Premier League season and UEFA Super Cup glory for Liverpool. Having begun the month with a penalty shootout defeat by Manchester City in the FA Community Shield, the Reds bounced back immediately to beat Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield on the opening day of the top-flight campaign. An own goal by Grant Hanley and strikes from Mohamed Salah , Divock Origi and Virgil van Dijk - who would be named UEFA Men's Player of the Year later in August - saw Jürgen Klopp's side surge into a four-goal, half-time lead.
