Liverpool failed to provide Anfield semi-final magic in underwhelming display against Arsenal... Jurgen Klopp's side lacked zip and dynamism on a night to forget in the Carabao Cup

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Anfield and semi-finals? Drama would be right up there. A fizzing atmosphere and a frenzied Liverpool performance would be high on your list too.

There have been five such occasions during Jurgen Klopp’s reign, the most notable being the Champions League blitzings of Roma (5-2 in 2018) and Barcelona (4-0 in 2019) and the Europa League skewering of Villarreal (3-0 in 2016).

Perhaps not so easily recalled, though, are the League Cup dust-ups with Stoke (2016) and Southampton (2017).
