Liverpool are the current holders of the trophy after beating Chelsea on penalties in February 2022 to end Manchester City’s run of four successive EFL Cups.

However, the Reds won’t have the chance to defend their crown, having suffered a last-16 elimination to Pep Guardiola’s City.

But City won’t be there either after a 2-0 loss to Southampton at St Mary’s.

With this year’s edition coming towards the business end as we reach the semi-finals stage, teams will now be eyeing up a place at Wembley.
