The match will arrive after a very busy period of 12 games in 36 days, including the Club World Cup in Qatar.
Jurgen Klopp‘s side host Sheffield United on Thursday, January 2, then travel to London to face Tottenham on Saturday, January 11.
Therefore, you can expect a heavily rotated side, as is the norm for Liverpool in domestic cup competitions.
It should provide an opportunity for the likes of Rhian Brewster and Caoimhin Kelleher, with progress to the next round influencing whether they are allowed out on loan in January.
The Reds exited the competition at the third round last season with a 2-1 defeat away to Wolves.
The season before that saw a fourth-round exit to West Brom, which is the furthest Liverpool have ever got in the competition under Klopp.
