Liverpool v Stoke City line-ups – Jon Flanagan makes a long-awaited comeback

Jurgen Klopp and Mark Hughes have both rung the changes ahead of the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg between Liverpool and Stoke City.

The most eye-catching change is the return of Jon Flanagan, who makes his first start for the hosts in more than a year. The full-back is one of several changes from the first leg, with Mamadou Sakho, Jordan Henderson and James Milner also starting.

It would be a surprise if tonight's game is as low-scoring, with the two teams conceding a combined seven goals in the weekend's Premier League games. The winner over two legs will face either Manchester City or Everton in the final, with the Toffees holding a 2-1 first-leg advantage.
