How to Watch Liverpool vs. Chelsea on TV, Live Stream
Xabi Alonso returns to Anfield for the third consecutive season on Wednesday night, as he takes his Chelsea team to his old stomping ground for a fourth-round Carabao Cup tie.
Alonso, a once-cherished midfielder on Merseyside, received pleasant welcomes on his previous two visits while in charge of Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid. A switch to Liverpool’s familiar foes hasn’t drastically altered his standing among supporters, although he should expect to be treated with greater indifference this time around.
He’ll hope to lead Chelsea to Anfield with more at stake than merely a place in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals further down the line, but a big opportunity has nonetheless presented itself to both of these teams thanks to Fleetwood Town’s heroics on Tuesday evening.
No new manager would turn down early silverware, especially when they’re leading to grand clubs boasting fanbases that demand success every season.
After squeaking past former assistant Iñigo Pérez in the Champions League last week, Andoni Iraola encounters another long-time friend in Alonso on Wednesday.
Here’s how supporters can tune into the Carabao Cup fourth round tie.

What’s Next for Liverpool, Chelsea?
While Chelsea will benefit from another free midweek before the November international break, Liverpool have three more matches before national teams reconvene.
They’re facing the champions at Anfield on Sunday before travelling to Istanbul for a trick away fixture in the Champions League against Fenerbahçe. Liverpool then face a porous Crystal Palace side on Nov. 8.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are aiming to end Michael Carrick’s tenure as Manchester United manager on Saturday before visiting Sunderland the following week.
