Read our privacy policy Jurgen Klopp relied on his Carabao Cup specialists to see off stubborn Preston on Wednesday night but the Liverpool boss admitted he does not know how much longer he can get away with wholesale changes in the competition. Origi and Minamino were two of the more predictable changes – Origi now has 11 goals in 10 League Cup starts, while Minamino has five in as many appearances – but Klopp also included teenagers Harvey Blair and Tyler Morton while giving several fringe players a run out. “We have to see, I don’t make these decisions two or three weeks before we play the next round.” Though Klopp admitted his makeshift side did “not play well”, he pointed to a number of encouraging displays. That’s all to come.” Liverpool enjoyed almost 80 per cent possession in the first half but went in having not had a shot on target, instead relieved Preston passed up a golden chance just before the half-hour mark when Adrian saved at point-blank range from Sean Maguire before Ryan Ledson’s follow-up was stopped on the line.
